<p>Hey everyone. Should I bring a bike? Or do the chances of bike theft outweigh those of getting to ride a bike around?</p>
<p>Bikes are terrifying and dangerous.</p>
<p>I heard that only freshmen have bikes. I'm sure it's not true, but it's very much a walking campus and you don't NEED a bike. Depends on where you live also...are you a Forbesian having to travel to the E-quad?</p>
<p>i'm a forbesian and i'm thinking of buying a second hand bike.
it just makes things much faster</p>
<p>I <em>cough</em> never <em>cough</em> learned how to ride a bike. Ahem. :o</p>
<p>Go ahead. Shun me now.</p>
<p>No need to! I'm serious, bikes are DANGEROUS.</p>
<p><------- totally terrified of bikes (and yes, I can ride one)</p>
<p>LoL... why are you terrified of bikes? Scared of getting run over by one on your way to class?</p>
<p>Anything with only two wheels is just too dang dangerous. I know so many people who have had horrible biking accidents.</p>
<p>I say pedestrians are dangerous. I have a 40 min ride to summer classes and I feel like i'm always dodging them. With trucks at least you can see them coming out from being hedges and/or residential districts....;) Silly two-legged ambulators.</p>
<p>Anyone ever think of using a Segway to traverse the campus?
It would cut down travel time from Forbes to E-Quad.
Maybe Princeton's generous endowment would cover it:)</p>
<p>I'm scared of bikes. I fell off one once and i scraped a lot of skin off the side of my face. Bikes are dangerous!</p>
<p>hahaha, this thread deserves a facebook group or something!</p>
<p>I'm not scared of bikes but my bike was stolen when I was in eigth grade and I never got a new one (I still can't get over the theft boo)</p>
<p>: / tell me about it. My bike wasn't stolen but someone stuck a nail in my back tire when I was in Blockbuster. Walking home at a Californian blazing hot noon time, albeit a beautiful (as per usual) one, stinks.</p>
<p>i've had loads of accidents including knocking down pedestrians, losing a wheel/handlebars (while i was cycling) and going straight into a signpost while i was talking on the phone.
apart from that, bikes are great :D</p>
<p>I think the campus is slanting a bit, so you'd be riding uphill, downhill and all sort of other stuff to get to class :) Are skates a good idea, or is the paving too uneven?</p>
<p>How about getting around via scooter? Anyone scooterphobic too?</p>
<p>Like a motor scooter? My only worry would be it getting stolen.</p>
<p>mea, now that will be stolen</p>
<p>Ahhh, running around on campus with a scooter would be so fun. I haven't had a scooter since I was in the first grade. Good times, good times. Let's do it, mea :D</p>
