[Noisebridge-discuss] Possible move to bay area.

[Glen Jarvis]

Also, I have taken CalTrain to MountainView on a monthly basis (without a
bicycle) and there are lots of transfers. It usually is about 3 hours with
all of the mess.

But, if you bicycle, you can put your bicycle on CalTrain and cut that down
considerably.

CalTrain between SF and MountainView is about an hour. So, there's two
 hours out of your day right there (unless you're really good at getting
work done on CalTrain -- there's power, but not really wireless).

You should also check out the HackerDojo mailing list (assuming they have
one), as they're in Mountain View.
