Commute by Bike
For The Love of DIRT!
Ok hang on to your seats…the makers of “The Collective” have introduced a brand new mountain bike video called ROAM, due out in April 2006. I know I know, this is a commuter website and that mountain biking really doesn’t have to do with commuting by bike (or does it?). But its such a cool…

Ol' flabalanche?
Courtesy of The Steeps I love Dr. Pepper. Not in a “Brokeback Cola” kinda way, but I am addicted to it. Last year, while working at a place that had NO access to anything but soda, I packed on about 35 pounds. Crazy to think about what just two soda’s a day can do to…

50 Hours in Bed
I’m back, in case you missed me. I’ve just been a bit sick lately. I went into the hospital on Wednesday and got out late Friday evening. The good news is, I’m OK. I went in for chest pains – very severe pressure directly under my sternum. They’re 95% sure it wasn’t a heart attack. I’m pretty sure…
Early Morning Ride
I’m just a cycling nut, plain and simple. I love to commute by bike, love to ride my road bike, and love to go Mountain Biking. What does Mountain Biking have to do with Commuting? More than you think! For every MTB mile you ride, is like riding 3 miles on the road. Ride your…
Bike Show in Holland

It was very inspiring to see such enthusiasm for cycle touring and traveling products and the CELLO was very well received. While in the Netherlands, I had a chance to explore…

Commute by Water?
I suppose if you lived on a lake you could use this to commute with.
Commuting By Bike Part 1 -Moe's Story
I’ve been riding a bike recreationally for about 5 years. I had never considered commuting by bike to work. As my passion for the sport grew, so did my interest on bike advocacy. I stumbled upon a site that was promoting ‘Bike to Work Week’. It was then that the notion of riding my bike…

Start Me Up…
Nothing starts me up like a morning commute. Today I rolled out the front door at 7:03 AM, the temp was 46°, it was twilight, calm winds. In my 25 minute ride to work, I had not one close brush, no horns, no creepers (cars creeping behind me), no one even yelled at me. Perfect…
