Bike Commuting - Encouragement?
Hi All:
I'm new to this forum, but I've read through a lot of the previous threads. Looks like this is a very supportive place for women cyclists.
I'm looking for others who bike commute. I'd like to return start riding to work - I used to commute five miles each way to my office every day. Great ride, great way to get to work. Haven't commuted for three years now.
Problem is that my office has moved, and now it's 18 miles from home. I'm a pretty avid cyclist, and a 40 mile ride is no big deal, but seems kinda intimidating on a daily basis.
Anyone with words of encouragement?
Thanks!
I started commuting yesterday.
I have the huge commute of 1.6 miles! I just wear my regular clothes since it's flat or downhill almost all the way. I bought a saddle bag to put all my stuff teacher stuff in. It makes for a good but brief workout on the way home since it's nearly all uphill.
