Anyone out there do it? I am doing my best to become one. I drive to work-time being the issue I start mostly at 6 am...but try to bike EVERYWHERE else. I do want to eventually have endurance to make it to work and back. Any tips??? I am primarily a runner FYI...

    I've been commuting for years. It seemed like a big hassle at first but once you get used to it, it's as easy (or easier) than driving. Depending on traffic/roads/distance it can also be just about as quick as driving. It's a good way to sneak in some cardio and it's easy on your body/joints. Plus you save gas, park easy, and get some (hopefully) fresh air. If you haven't ridden a lot around traffic before be very careful, make yourself as visible as possible and watch out for all the *kitten* that don't like to share the road with bikes. Other than that, I love it. Once you try it, you probably won't want to go back. Good luck!
