Day 9 of Putting It In Park is combining modes of transportation.

After biking seven miles to Channel 5 on Tuesday, it's time for a little change.

I decided we would combine bike and wave riding.

Jene' Young and I rode almost two miles to the bus stop at Providence Hospital.

Each Wave bus has a bike rack on the front. It holds two bikes. (extra bikes go inside the bus)

It's easy to drop your tires into the sections and lock them with the provided bar.

We loaded our bikes on the rack and boarded the bus.

Without a pass, you pay $1.25. Your bike gets to ride free!

I got a little nervous watching the bikes bounce around outside the bus but the rack really works.

The whole trip took us about 45 minutes.

Tiffany, let’s see you on a Segway.  The city police might loan one to you if you place a cardboard cop on Cottage Hill Rd for them.

If you sat on the bike, would you get to ride for free too?  LOL

I’m almost ready to offer you two a piggy back ride to work, but I will probably re-think that idea tomorrow.  :grin:
