If I depart from the stoop at 09h50, I arrive in Mountain View:
at 11h17 by bicycle + train (immediate cost: $4.50 for the CalTrain ticket);
at 11h00 by bicycle + bus (no immediate cost);
at 10h30 by private car (immediate cost: $5.00, for two gallons of gas);
and, departing at 06h45 by bicycle, I arrive at 10h00 (but usu. need to shower).
