I went out this afternoon to map out a way to get to Salem by bike with the least amount of involvement with traffic. Initially, I went down Marshall (I live on 1st) and then crossed over on Academy. I took the strollway back and this seems to be the best option to avoid traffic. I'll have to walk my bike (when I get one) up 1st as it's one way between my place and the strollway, and then bike once I reach it. I wanted to ask if anyone has opinions/ideas about buying a bike. I've been doing research online, but with all the info out there, it's kind of overwhelming. I don't want to spend a bazillion dollars on one, so that leaves the custom bikes out, but what should I be looking for in an everyday fixed gear bike? This was much simpler when I was a kid and all I had to decide about a bike was whether or not to get the white wicker basket with the daisies on it. :)
As for my service project, the one with Novant Health on Bike City USA seemed the most appealing to me since one of my majors is Creative Writing. I wasn't in class the day the person from the Center for Design Innovation came, but the project on Generating Buzz About The Bike also seems interesting since it involves creativity, too.
