A lady friend of mine who bicycle commutes here <br>in the St. Louis area has a rear rack. She bungies her daypack to her Blackburn rear rack.<br>This seems to...
Wow, thanks for all the helpful hints. The baby-wipes idea was especially good, since my office doesn't have showers yet. <br><br>I just bought a blackburn ...
Friend just uses daypack--not backpack. She uses regular bungie cords. Have you looked at those<br>folding cloth baskets that fit on rear rack? (Sized to hold...
Great web site!<br><br>Hm. The folding bag sounds cool. But there's also a mesh thing that goes over whatever you've got on your rack. Mebbe that's the ...
> But did you notice--most bicycle accidents DON'T<br>> involve cars!! And the ones that do involve cars<br>> are due to "operator error" often by the...
Forgot to mention grame pump (or CO2 inflater)!!<br><br>All those tire fixin things useless without a means of reinflating the tire!!! :<)<br><br>Doing ...
An oxymoron or am I the moron for thinking I should 'take work home'. Any little bag of papers and books can be strapped to a rack with two or three bungee...
I am bad at bike maintenance. When I ride I carry only my lock and key and phone card to call if I need help. <br><br>I have not ridden in a couple of days. I ...
Hi Librarian! Thanks for the bungie ideas... gotta go get some from HomeDepot or Target... <br><br>I am a computer professional by trade and I shudder to think...
Woo! In about 20 minutes I'm going to embark on my first real live work commute by bike...! Wish me luck!<br><br>Will report back tonight.<br><br>-Natalie...
All Right nkmd!!!<br><br>Hope that it was a pleasant experience!! Welcome<br>to a new way of life. My bet is that you will be<br>hooked on it.<br><br>We are...
Hi cyclists,<br><br>I was pointed toward this group by a certain happy cyclist, who shall remain unnamed. It's good to see others are interested in cycling as...
Natalie, If I can survive bicycle commuting here in Pinellas County, Florida (the most densely populated county in the State) without a Harvard.edu degree ...
I survived it! Barely. But not from traffic -- BOY am I outta shape. For the last mile, I only kept myself going by trying to remember which street names came...
Congrats Natalie!! I am pleased to hear that it went well. The earlier starting time could be<br>better--we had "flextime" where I worked and I<br>tried to ...
To your question, Karl, I don't know much about bike lighting yet, but I'm trying to find out before the days get too short.<br><br>Here's an article about...
blkswimmer, I see that you commute 7+ miles. That is great--a couple of miles farther than I<br>did before retirement. I see that most members of<br>our club...
That is a good link Natalie. I went ahead & added the index page link to "our" club Links page. I<br>hope that our founder and/or members let me know<br>if ...
When I began biking to work, I rode in much the same way as I had bused or driven before. What I mean is I commuted. I took the shortest and fastest route I...
David, Re: the slippery slope...<br><br>At my company (California Federal Bank) they give you commuting benefits if you rideshare (incl. biking) at least 3...
Oops, Karl, I forgot to respond to your questions:<br><br>> What type of bicycle do you use? <br>> What equipment works best for you? <br><br>Gotta warn...
I just wanted to share some of my experiences from riding in Los Angeles. I love to ride but Los Angeles can leave a lot to be desired. Bus fumes can kill and...
Thanks Natalie for sharing your equipment choices.<br>Sound like good practical equipment choices. Of course any bicycle will work -- look at the majority of...
Ah-hah David, the truth comes out. You are no longer "goal directed" about getting to work or to home. Sounds very un-american, suspicious. I must admit that I...
