Parking is for suckers

COC Facebooks parking advice to their 20,000+ students as Fall 2010 starts:

I beg to differ. If you hate parking at COC (and who doesn’t?!?) why not try out Santa Clarita Transit, which has no less than two routes that drop off passengers right at COC’s front door? It’s cheap, you don’t have to worry about driving (or parking) and it couldn’t be easier. Really now, why waste gas?

Or, if you’re selfish like me, why not ride your bike there and beat all the suckers parking altogether? You know one of the few things the City has done right in recent years is painting Class II bike lanes along Rockwell, Tournament and Wiley, and there’s a path on Valencia as well that leads directly to the school. Parking challenges and frustrations are for suckers who drive their car; cycling to college is fun, cool, hip, environmentally-friendly and leads to good looking bodies that attract the opposite (or same, I’m not judging) sex.

As I always say, one of the worst thing about driving is having to park; one of the best things about cycling is not having to park.

So think about it COC students. Be a rebel. Be hip. Be cool. Be different than the herd of single drivers. Take the bus or ride your bike to COC and let all those other suckers shell out the cash and get stressed while they hunt for a primo parking space.
