I bike a lot. Including long distance trips (1000km). So I have a pretty good bike. I'm kinda uneasy about using it to bike to uni. But it does cut the travel time by third compared to a normal without adding much power(sweat) so I'd love to use it too.
No way am I going to be using public transportation. Too much hassle and don't got the money.
Getting drunk is a wonderful way to forget. Just you'll realise you're just that much poorer the next day. 
Well I like long distances as well. Not as long as 1000km. In fact I just haven't tried that and I do no think that my bike would like it or I would like it

Its sounds like something done with tents and so on. Longest been something like 100km and I had someone to show me a way...
Its about 13-15 km to work and uni from where I live and I get that distance forth and back almost every day. Tried to go to a swimming place about 20-30 km from my home, but...I get lost each time I tried it

I guess I should get a map.... I always get lost

Teh, I drink beer in summer and its rather cheep here. Booze is rather cheep here. Smoking is the thing that get me poorer each day. I am thinking of quitting now. Its not healthy right?

Well I know that they steal bikes here, and steal them a lot (and police does not do a thing about that) so I did not get expensive one, just a good city bike that fit my needs (get from old city to my home and get around without a need to relay on public transportation, I hate public transportation...an d public 
I had that same problem there where I lived lasttime
we moved out of that place about 1 and half ago.
Those damn bastards stole about 8 bikes from me and one was destroyed just for fun, police, of course, did nothing.
Well then I have to move out of country, because they steel like hell everywhere here >_>
Well they keep the booze cheep so that we can get drunk and not think how crappy and corrupt this country is
