Some mention has been made about cars, and bikes and buses, and I just wanted to get a few more opinions on the issue of transportation, i.e. whether or not I should get a car. It sounds like Eugene is a good bike town, and I have a bike, but what about the weather? Do folks just bike in the rain in Eugene? Also, are grocery stores easily accessed, or does Eugene have patches of food desert? In other words, without a car would food shopping be a pain? Thanks, thanks, thanks.

LWaldrop, babyology, I am also looking for graduate housemates for the coming academic year. I will be moving out to Eugene sometime in August to start an MFA in creative writing. Perhaps if either of you come across some good info, you could post it in the forum, and I will do the same. Not sure what else to say.... I'm a dedicated student, like to exercise, go out occasionally, etc. Also, I think it would be nice to live with people studying in fields different from my own, if you can call creative writing a field. Anyway, I'm interested and such.
