Subject: RE: Bicycle Commuting - Tips & Advice Well, I made it in alive and in one piece! Good things: I'm alive New headlight is super bright Didn't get lost and route was good It's only 730 and I've ridden for 1:45, had breakfast, showered and am already working Lessons Learned: At early dawn, cars don't feel the need to turn their lights on. Bigger problem on a bike than in a car I was late today due to not having everything ready the night before I forgot my clear lens glasses this morning and took a bug in the eye I'm not going to average 20+ mph for a commute If you leave late as I did, you'll get stuck behind school buses! Overall it was a good time! Just need to leave a bit earlier. I can tell that the extra mileage is still going to be great for my fitness. |
