Bay area commuters

[jazerr]

I would like to take an opportunity to applaud anybody here who regularly has to brave hwy 101 anywhere between san jose and san francisco going either direction.

I swear its like storming hte beach at normandy.

You and Pandy    And, all the others (on Barf).  I used to.  Hwy 280 is better if you can take it.  And, 5 minutes makes a difference in the amount of traffic; if you can leave 5 minutes earlier than you normally do, you may find the traffic that much better.  Of course, I don't know when you leave.

the 680 "wind tunnel"  in Fairfield is a pain too. unless u like dragging your knee going straight  .

Here's how you do a proper commute in the bay area.

And I get to hit up four corners on the way home everyday.

I'm doing shoreline @101 to san bruno @101. so there isnt really a good way otherwise.

[pandy]

I did East San Jose to Foster City for a looooooong time. I like 280 better, but it's damned windy. I usually just took 101 and split in the diamond lane. 

[bubba zanetti]

Ha ha suckers it takes me 15mins to get to work & that includes stopping to get the mail & daily papers 

[pandy]

I now live 1.1 miles from my office.  The good part is no more traffic.  The bad part is that it takes longer to gear up than to ride to the office, so I just ride on weekends now. 

[bubba zanetti]

I live 10 km's (6.2m) from work. If I take the long way home it's 20km's 

[pandy]

Well...yeah...the long way home is about 60 miles for me! 

[CndnMax]

Well...yeah...the long way home is about 60 miles for me! 

just circle the block a few times or something 

[bubba zanetti]

I have a race track to go around on the way home, if I want. 

[pandy]

Yeah, but if you go around it too much, you'll get in trouble with your wife!

I guess I could do this in the morning, too... leave an hour early and take the long way to the office... 

[bubba zanetti]

If I go around it to fast i'll get booked by the wollapers
