When do you not drive?

Just this past week on campus, a question has come up more often than typical for me. When do students find other means of transportation to classes? Such as walking, riding a bike, taking the shuttle or using a skateboard? This week the answer became more obviously...during the warmer weather! All week I observed more bikes parked outside of buildings, larger groups walking together in a much more relaxed manner instead of a hurry and just the overall feel was not a complete rush to get to a car.

Something that accompanied this observation: an easier time to find a parking spot! I guess it's starting to become clearer that the best time to find a spot (if you are a commuter) is during the warm weather!! And it appears riding a bike is probably a lot faster to get to campus than commuting from a dorm anyways...too bad that can't happen all year round!
