In order:

1) Bicycling
2) Walking
3) Train
4) Bus
5) Flying

I love to ride my bicycle and as soon as my light system is
repaired it's commuter time! I'm building a new light system
and I'm hoping it will be made of easily obtainable parts.
Oddly enough I'd rather cycle than drive, especially long
distances. Just something good about the feeling that you
did it under your own power.

I hate flying, I get to waste more time, going to the Airport,
parking, check-in, flying then everything in reverse. It's a
day wasted! it could also be the wonderful times I've spent
traveling for work. One time, on a flight down to Florida,
I got stuck with a bunch of immigrant who carried on chickens
(yes live chickens). There were feathers everywhere. To make
matters worse I was at the back of the plane and when we landed
the plane had an electrical burning smell and they turned off
the lights in the cabin (not a good sign). I immediately noted
the emergency exits and calm stepped forward with everyone else.
Once I got off the plane I made a B line out of there. Flying
sucks!
