For those of you who cycle regularly, it should be a no-brainer. It is a much more common practice to ride a bike to work or school in other countries and even in some large US cities. But for those of you who don't commute regularly, or at all, here are a few tips on biking to work. Granted, from a guy who has only been bike commuting for a few months, so chime in with comments if you have more tips.
- Wear a helmet for pete's sake
- Obey the traffic laws
- Always be mindful of drivers, they won't always be looking for you
- Slow down at turns and intersections and take your time
- Wear a quick-dry shirt
- Take a clean shirt and maybe a travel size spray deodorant
- Wear bright and/or reflective clothing
- Take a bike lock
- Bring rain gear if needed, and slow your pace down in bad weather
- Take a bike tool and spare tube
So, give it a shot tomorrow. Use National Bike to Work Day as an excuse to try it and see how it goes. If nothing else, cut out a trip to the supermarket or a restaurant tomorrow and ride your bike instead. Have fun, and be safe!
