Bike commuting means different things to everyone, and before you start, it is important to understand why you ride. This will impact where you ride, how frequently you ride, and what gear you may need to purchase. Commuting doesn't only mean riding your bike to and from work - Commuting is getting out and riding your bike. During this session we will cover Benefits of bike commuting, Essential gear, safety & responsibility, dressing for success and how to get started "Biking your Drive".

  • Glad you’re hosting this event and I encourage simplicity in planning and executing a frequent bike commute — it doesn’t have to be daily or entirely water-proof, but it does help so much to have a planned and practiced route, fenders or flaps that help keep you dry if rain pops up, and a back-up transit plan for the worst weather days. Keep on riding as often as you can, that’s the key!
