One form of active transportation that may be new to students, though, is using the local public transportation system to get around. For students and non-students alike, using a city bus or train for the first time can be an intimidating hurdle. Our communications staffer Susan Wilcox, who rides both a bike and a bus for transportation, wrote a guide a few years ago for people who are new to riding buses. This article is an updated version of that guide. &#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>New Events Added to Texbiker.net Calendar<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New Bike Event: Pain on the Plains &#8211; Canyon, TX: When: Sat Sep 13, 2014 1pm to Sat Sep 13, 2014 7:30pm\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>CDTWhe&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/PvayZKIqW5\">http:\/\/t.co\/PvayZKIqW5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Rick Ankrum (@texbiker) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/texbiker\/status\/504996464758509569?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 28, 2014<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New Bike Event: Pain on the Plains &#8211; Canyon, TX: When: Sun Sep 14, 2014 10am to 2pm\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>CDTWhere: 11450 Park Road&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/cTpWwPK1cp\">http:\/\/t.co\/cTpWwPK1cp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Rick Ankrum (@texbiker) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/texbiker\/status\/504996465517670400?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 28, 2014<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New Bike Event: Triple Threat Time Trials &#8211; San Antonio, TX: When: Sun Dec 7, 2014 9am to 11:30am\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>CSTWhere: 1&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/O3eXqaa3MO\">http:\/\/t.co\/O3eXqaa3MO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Rick Ankrum (@texbiker) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/texbiker\/status\/505005466393391104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 28, 2014<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Tweets<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hey guys and gals,<\/p>\n<p>Please take a look at our new (not totally finished) website.
