To this I would add: Low tech bikes that get the job done are less likely to disappear then the latest and greatest high-end bike. One reality of "bike as transportation" is that you need to leave it unattended. Big bike locks work but can be awkward - especially with quick release hubs and thieves can still make off with your saddle and other peripherals.

Milton Ospina Agree. Good points!

This is really good, a lot of traffic could be cut from town and city centres if more people realised that "last few miles" commuting is really easy! There needs to be more done from councils to promote "last few miles" commuting. All "Park and Rides" should advertise it. However I think the bus companies probably stop it happening or have a conflict of interest, hence why you dont see it more. there is a whole secret world of people who do this, me included!.

Somehow having a toddler on the back gives a perfectly valid excuse to blast some tunes on the bike... From Disney bangers to fat freddys, bring on the day!

Houston is my hometown, born and raised there! I have been in Cali. for over 25 years. I am happy to know you found a walkable/bikable area! Houston is no joke with the traffic and tolls roads! They don't really cycle there! I would also be afraid of getting caught up in one of those Texas thunderstorms! ;-) I often think about moving back to Texas from Calfornia, but I think a smaller town would work better for me at this point now!

I used bicycle as my primary transportation in Norfolk VA for 8 years with public transport as my backup. My experience is similar to yours. I was fortunate to have shower facilities available at work and showered there each morning instead of may apartment. My commuter bike was the same bike I had bought 25 years earlier. Nothing fancy - steel molycrho frame, drop down shifters, and a few commuter add-ons. To reiterate a few things: 1. Bike rack and panniers to haul stuff to/from work and carry groceries home. 2. Good tires and innertubes - puncture resistant tubes, kevlar tires. 3. Rear view mirror! 4. Fenders to reduce grime from wet roads (because late day T-storms are pretty common there). 5. Route selection - better to add distance by using the roads least travelled then compete on the most direct and busiest routes. 6. BRIGHT lights and reflective vest when days get short between autumn and spring equinox. (A coworker confirmed that I was very visible on the dark, least travelled streets.) 7. Tire repair kit and pump/inflation cartridge and bus fare - just in case. (I lived along a bus route that served my workplace.)

Starting a new and finding my over the many proposed routes has driven up my time in the saddle. Now finally cracked it! 30.54 miles round trip and hope to smash the 1 hour barrier soon. The hidd... Leer más
