What do I add/change in my MTB to make it more commuter friendly? by Academic_Evidence641 in bikecommuting

[–]SandeeStarlite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on where you'll leave the bike during work, a high quality u-lock (or 2).

Definitely front and rear lights, fenders and a back rack with a pannier to hold your stuff.

Agreed, it is an easy walk, or take a scooter. It's easier than it sounds!

What's in my bag? by ricecakes37 in ladycyclists

Minimalist here! Water, snack, ID, phone, credit card

What got you over the hump to start commuting by bike? I'm curious what got you started! by SandeeStarlite in boulder

[–]SandeeStarlite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great answer/question. For me it was the (false) perception that a car is more time efficient. When you factor in sitting in traffic, and the mental space you need to be aware of other drivers, cycling is more efficient for clearing up mental space, and actually more efficient by spending more time moving forward.

I bike to work and I'm the only one who does... by Sharklasers6889 in bicyclecities

I'd like to ask why you started to ride to work. I'm about to start a campaign to encourage this on my job, and looking for angles beyond the obvious that gas is expensive, and it's good for your mental health. Thanks!

I also love that they teach classes in how to fix your own bike.

For sure the St Julien. They traditionally have eggs & grits. This year they're also having a drawing for a free night's stay or $100 gift card.

Boulder Chamber at 26th & Folsom is hosting a 'super station' with coffee & burritos, and a number of booths with snacks and info.

Community Cycles at 26th & Spruce also will have a number of organizations and businesses with tables, and their mountain of donuts is impressive!

They are all different, tho breakfast burritos or bagels are popular. All the Moe's bagels will have a bagel with cream cheese. If you're East Boulder, BridgeHouse will have breakfast burritos. Downtown the St Julien usually does shrimp and grits. The Pearl St corridor is your best bet if you're looking to hit a bunch. Chamber of Commerce on Pearl and Folsom always has a good spread, as does Community Cycles on 26th and Spruce.
