Off To See The Wiz

[PTJD]

Morning CES and Hit. Plenty of options with walking, bus, subway and taxi, you won't catch me on a scooter! We may buy a car a few years down but since we are in the Historical Downtown, no parking!

How about one of those cool fold up bikes? I saw something a while back where Ford or someone was working on a really nice one.

I forgot to mention the bikes, they already have that figured out also. With my bus transport speedpass card I can rent bikes, in fact they have these bike stations all over the city where there are like 30 bikes at each station.
The first 30 minutes are free and you just dock them at any station through out the town to return. Here is a link. Cómo funciona - málagabici - Transporte público basado en el uso compartido de bicicletas
Here is a link that tells you where the stations are and how many bikes are available, even if you use one for over 30 minutes the cost is next to nothing. Estaciones - málagabici - Transporte público basado en el uso compartido de bicicletas

 

[FranC]

At least you have lots of options on how to get around.

That's really cool PT. Just be careful drinking and riding.

 

[PTJD]

Yeah, its not like OKC or Kansas City where our drivers are not used to bike riders, they have a lot of dedicated bike lanes.

Fran, where you been? You are becoming rare around here, so is Gracie and OTD!

 

[hittman]

Oh, we're used to bike riders. We just think that they are moving targets.

 

[FranC]

I'm here.PT Aren't you going to miss having a car?

No, not at all, most things are accessible by walking or public transport. I guess it sounds weird for most of us Americans not having a car but I'm used to these European and Asian cities.
Yes we won't be shopping like we do here at a Sams club but the larger department stores deliver. Most of our shopping will be walking distance. For example here in OKC, it takes me about 35 minutes without traffic to get to the parking garage at the airport. From my Apartment in Malaga its a 7-10 minute walk to the subway then a 15 minute ride to the airport.

Night Fran.

 

[hittman]

I think it might be nice to not have to have a car.

 

[olderthandirt]

I would love to be in circumstances that allowed for no car!

Hiyo folks. Gotta go find Barcelona pics......

[CES]

Good morning y'all

Having a transit system and not needing a car sounds kinda nice.

 

[hittman]

Good morning.

 

[PTJD]

Good Morning. Headed out to TTown.

 

[FranC]

Good morning,PT and CES

 

[olderthandirt]

Good Morn (-:

The heat wave I was complainin' about has moved on. Relief!
Appears to have moved to the east though... apologies Mid-west.

 

[hittman]

Yeah, we're experiencing it right now. Mid to high 90's the last two days and it's supposed to last for a while.

 

[FranC]

Cooler day welcome here today.
