Commuting by Bike!? How can I do that?
Check out our Guides and Links tab for all bicycle maintenance and riding tips! There is also a great video on our Prior Events, Pictures and Video on how some people do their daily commute even with a suit!
You will be surpised how FAST you make it to work, and how easy it can be to commit to riding each and every day.
Come to one of our meetings and talk to local riders that do it everyday for tips and how easy and rewarding commuting by bicycle can be.
Some incentives: The average person loses over 12 lbs. when they convert to bike commuting! Some make drastic changes (Including some of us in the MBC) and see amazing results in their health and outlook on life! With shows like "The Biggest Loser" gaining such momentum and prestige, why not show them up and do it yourself!
When you commit... you stop driving! With gas prices heading back on up, this can't hurt a bit! You'll be burning the fat, not the fuel!
