Prepare for California Bike Commute Week
by director on Apr.30, 2009, under Ecology, economy
A note that makes me wish I were in California – and that’s a rare thing:
May 11-15 is California Bike Commute Week this year. That means that you’ve got less than two weeks to prepare for that week of bike commuting, so maybe you want to get a bit of practice in – a day or two of bike commuting between then and now.
Map out you route, and take a bit of extra time, and enjoy yourself. You’ll be saving money and helping the clear the air in the process.
Commute By Bike!
by director on Feb.03, 2009, under Ecology, economy
I’ve given some rather half-heartedly enthusiastic recommendations about the bicycling sites I’ve found so far, because they’ve been about the recreational side of biking, rather than the practical, day-to-day way of a bicyclist’s life.
I’m happy to pass you on, therefore, to Commute By Bike. I’m particularly grateful for their Beginner Tips – because in a world like ours, where people regard driving a car as a more natural activity than even walking, it doesn’t hurt to have the car-free bicycling lifestyle spelled out in a very simple form.
Also, if you’re not prone to fits of despair, read their article on the 10 worst cities in which to commute by bicycle – but Washington D.C.? What about their Capital Crescent Trail?
