Beats Walking

This is a TV station's feature on a guy who couldn't afford a car so he rode a bike to and from college, 5 miles each way, for years, in all weather. And I read this and thought, wait a minute... I lived about 3 miles from my law school and walked (uphill to school along a major road and, for the last mile or so, on a road with no sidewalk) or took the SEPTA train each day for three years. I didn't even have a bike to ride, let alone a car. Nobody did a story about ME. And our parents always regaled us about how they walked to school in snowstorms. When is the school commute worth noting in the news? (WTKR-TV/Norfolk)
