I'll be walking over there. It is funny that you should mention biking though. There is a bike path right in front of my apartment that goes right past my school. I do plan on riding my bike to school when I get back in. It also goes right by my job but since I deliver pizzas for a living I've got to drive to work. vh- I'll check out the Xootr but since I already own a bike I'll probably just stick with it. I'm not a young guy, I just turned 40 on Sunday. CFO-The grocery store is right across the street from me. I’ll be walking over there. It is funny that you should mention biking though.

Because it's not a bicycle you can get away with riding on sidewalks, a lot less dangerous than navigating a street full of two-ton vehicles whose distracted drivers might not notice you. I bought one when My Beloved Employer, a megauniversity, jacked up the cost of disabled parking to the point where I no longer could afford it. Develops that the surrounding city allows people with disabled license plates to park in any metered parking for free, all day long. Although pushing the Xootr along isn't altogether pain-free, it's a lot better than hiking that far, and the thing REALLY zips along. Makes me look a little strange, but since I'm past the point in my life when I'm trying to catch a man, I don't care. If you were a young guy, it probably would look kinda cool: a step up from the skateboard.

Is biking a realistic option? It would be good for you physically as well as mentally, it would save money, and it would deter you from buying too much food since you wouldn't be able to carry much home (plus you'll be motivated to eat healthy because of all the exercise you're getting).
