Jake S told me that bus passengers often get conned out of money for bus fare by the drunk-and-homeless.

If this has happened to you or someone you love – tell me how it happened in the comments.

It sure does discourage me from taking the bus around the university. It should be a safe place, or the safest place, to take the bus.

We’ve featured Keri from Commute Orlando before. By way of Carbon Trace, here’s a nifty Flash animation on how to make four types of left turns on your velo.

How to make left turns

So when I ride I do the “Pedestrian Turn.” After watching the video, up comes this message:

Well, I guess I’m an idiot. But you know what? it scares the ISH out of me to merge onto traffic. The least because most roads to UNR are packed with cars. And I get freaked out looking over my shoulder. That’s a moot point now though because my wheels were stolen, so there’s that.

What method do you use to turn left? And how do keep from shitting your pants/ crashing?
