So, I sprang (sprung? springed?) for an annual membership! The key arrived while I was in California, so this is the first week I've had it, and it's super great. I got one for my trip home from
And then this morning, I was planning to take my regular bus, but the timing wasn't going to work for my early morning meeting, so instead, I grabbed a bike from Union Square and biked to Harvard Sq, where I caught my office shuttle.
YOU GUYS. This is amazing! The convenience of an easy ONE WAY ride is incredible, and it means that I don't have to plan ahead and have my bike, or figure out how to store my bike if it only make sense to bike one way on any given day. There are stations in a whole bunch of the places that I'm likely to travel, and two stations near my house, in opposite directions. And the bikes are in good repair, are the style I like (upright, comfortable), and have good lights and a place to strap in a bag.
Next step: figure out how to get a station at my office.
