Every morning it’s a crispy chilly ride along this beautiful canal. You could ride this a thousand times and you’d still think it was your first!

Ride to Work started off well for me by *not* being knocked off my bike by a delivery truck today. Why don't professional drivers realise that if they are going to drive in the opposite lane, they ... read more

Sadly many drivers on the road do not know the safe passing distance. Me personally think they lack common sense . Every time I'm out on my bike I encounter such problems . 😟Ride safe

Getting back on the bike again for the commute to work is such a great experience, I'll tell you why. In the car there is so much that takes over the senses and it is a battle, on the bike and th... read more

I live at the top of a hill called Bluff Hill in Napier. 'The hill' has been a bit of a mental obstacle to me biking anywhere since we moved into our house almost 3 years ago. However the bike ch... read more

Helen, great to hear from a fellow hill commuter. I live at the top of a steep hill in the Highlands of Scotland and it stopped me commuting for years, until I didn't have any choice but using the bike to get to work. I now slog the 228m home two or three times a week. Never had to contend with 30+ degrees but I've done it in the snow. And you're absolutely right NEVER get off and walk it's too demoralizing!

It’s the moment I look forward to the most on my commute.

I've done some time on that rude main road. Toughed it out with those metal beasts and now I check behind me, move into primary,... read more

My commute to work is very short but I like it as I take it as a hill training session to get me to love not loathe them. The last bit of my ride is through the lovely Stockwood Park and yesterday ... read more

Wave at every car that gives you any room.
When you get angry about poor driving just remove your approval wave.
See? You got angry but didn't enter into a negative dialogue : )

Great advice, and something I have been doing for the last year. My theory is that when you're commuting, it's pretty much the same people overtaking you every day. When they see you giving recognition to a safe pass, they learn from that. I have genuinely noticed a reduction in close passes in the time I have been thanking safe passes on my commute.

Carvel Lonsdale Brilliant Tarun!
