Clue #1

A daily drive to work and back can be a tiresome chore,
A different type of commute gave this man some press,
Steer clear of some current hunting lore,
And you will have an advantage over the rest

I'm still here..I've been looking through the guide in an attempt to solve Tim's riddle.

I've been trying to think of a different sort of commute - if not by car - streetcar, train, bus, plane. The only person that got press that I can think of is Orville Wright. It was Rosa Parks that got press for the bus thing...and she's not a he.

Tim's not here to feed us, so I'll start a two-word clue hunt.

No ambivalent answers. I'll say hot or cold if you like.

Clue #1
A daily drive to work and back can be a tiresome chore,
A different type of commute gave this man some press,
Steer clear of some current hunting lore,
And you will have an advantage over the rest.

Clue #2
To solve the first riddle read your current events,
Where you will find relief on death row,
Murder is not one of the deadly sins,
The meaning of commute you now all should know.
