If _I_ rode from San Jose, where I work, to SF, I wouldn't have enough energy to do anything about
it even if I met a woman
You are right about the congestion and parking problems. It's too bad that the trains don't run on
weekends right now, and that the replacement busses don't carry bikes! The alternative is to ride to
Fremont (15-25 miles) and take BART to the city. Getting home after a night on the town might be an
issue, but you wouldn't get cited for DUI.
The last CM I rode was about 5 or 6 years ago when it was much less crowded, and much more
friendly. Of course, I was on a DF at the time. Maybe I should take the 'Zak some time, it has one
big wheel <BG>
