Sometimes I ride my bike and get to ride through parks, where I see lots of plants (beautiful in the spring!) as well as birds, hares, lizards and squirrels. In the parks, I ride past couples and families out for strolls or kids playing games. One of my favorite characters is a dog who gets REALLY excited whenever a commuter train goes by. His owners take him to an elevated vantage point, so he can look down on the train as it passes by. The dog goes NUTS! It’s hilarious. When I stick to the train or a bus, I read, work or talk to my neighbors, which is always nice. Last week, I stared out the window at a rainbow for a good 3-5 minutes (corny, but lovely). Wouldn’t be able to do these things in a car & I’m wondering what other good experiences people are able to have on their commute when they’re not doing the conventional “drive alone in a car” routine.
