Great list of tips! I was able to motivate a co worker of mine to commute by bike in the morning and its really nice cause now I have someone to ride with to work! (:

I will bookmark your blog and have my kids check up here frequently. I’m very certain they will understand lots of new stuff here than anybody else.

@ J Ryan –

I don’t know yet since I haven’t done it. What I’m imagining is that I’ll still keep my base layers in my drawer, but keep all the additional layers there.

Matt, do you keep all your riding cloths on that shelf? Or just ones that you’re planning on using in the next day or two?

Good question J. Ryan – I’ve been working that out myself.

I put out all of my clothes and things right next to the door before I go to bed. However, this tends to make things clutter eventually (as I decide not to wear something, put things there again when I come home, etc) so I’m purchasing an inexpensive wardrobe/shelving type cabinet from Home Depot/Lowes to put in my garage (where my bikes are). Hopefully this will help keep things organized and ready to go!

In regards to item 6, where is y’alls “commuter zone”? The garage, the dining room, the spare bedroom? I’m still trying to figure this all out as I’m new to commuting by bike.

I also decided that even in the wet winter months I’m going keep riding my bike to work. I’ve been riding my Montague folding bike for the past year & fell in love with biking. If it’s completely necessary to get out of the rain, or if the roads are too icy, at least I can fold up my bike & take it on the train. I tried driving my car (which has only been used for long-distance trips since I bought my bike) to work last week, & I showed up 15 minutes late & was stir crazy for the rest of the morning. No thanks, I’ll keep riding. Also the money I’ve invested in proper clothing & gear for biking is really nothing compared to car maintenance & filling up the tank.

Kevin -

Great goals. Keep us updated with the Toronto Bike Union as well.

My goals for 2010?

1. Keep riding to work every day. Since my employer expects me to show up every day, this has built-in reinforcement.

2. Keep up my membership in the Toronto Bike Union.

3. Write letters to the candidates standing for election to City Council in my ward. It is an election year in Toronto, the only time when politicians listen to the people.
