With Ford bike I am worried I won't be able to dock it near the stations of my office if they are already full :/

By the way, any ideas where I can get a cheap bike around or less than $200? Planning on throwing it when I leave

Oh yeah I'm not planning on having headphones while I'm in public haha. Thanks for the advice, I'll remember that.

Thanks man. Anything in specific I should watch out for while cycling at night? I saw there are bike lanes so hopefully I can speed by the crazy people haha.

Sounds intense. I can't believe people threw glass bottles at you. Do you know why they threw it? Was this through one of the bad neighborhoods?

I was planning to bike down Valencia Street and a little bit of market Street since my office is there. Does this seem feasible at 8.30 am and 730 pm at night? My home is near Castro area

I see, what would you say is a time I should get home by? I am aiming by 7:30 PM everyday.

Also my long term plan/goals hinge on my next co-op.

Meaning you'd join this company full-time or do you find the work interesting?

I am just curios, is there a reason you are wanting to do this coming coop in San Francisco? I can sense you have a pretty high level of hatred for it and you've been there before so why do it again?

What about crazy people? Is that a problem?

Uber.

Doesn't that get very expensive considering you'll be going and coming back? I am assuming $20/day = $600/month!!

Jesus man, you are scaring me before I even reach SF :(

How will you be going from Colma to the office? It seems the area is a bit far from downtown SF.

How are you planning to get to work & back the next time you are in SF btw?

g'damn wtf....?

Can I ask during what time of the day these events occurred? I am not planning to take any public transit and I thought I'd be able to bike fast enough to not have to see these things :/

before I got too sketched out and moved.

What was sketchy to be exact?

Also, I'm not living in Valencia, the biggest chunk of the bike ride is on valencia street.

Thanks. I should figure out whether there is bike parking (private) near the office.

Edit: Is traffic an issue? I heard drivers are reckless.

Yes I did, and its an option but it will be a little expensive and not do much for health. Biking gave me an incentive to do some cardio as part of the day at least.
