an initial cost... but a good long term investment

THE GUARDIAN has some Winter Cycling Tips!
www.guardian.co.uk

some people like to travel in their business suit when they ride to work
I opt to ride in riding gear
riding gear can be costly... but... over time the per use is not so grand

MEC in Canada has some good cycling gear
REI in the States has some good gear as well
and of course
support your LOCAL BIKE SHOP!
all local bike shops can order what they do not carry

a rear rack and fenders can improve a commuter's experience exponentially!
too many riders carry their lock and their bag on their handlebars!

personally I believe a lock does not need to be carried... a sensible person could buy a second lock
keep on lock locked to the post they use each day on their commute
thus not lugging the lock each way
having a second lock for the other times they need a lock when leaving home for other bicycle related adventures
as for fenders... these make a world of difference... especially for the commuter who opts to wear their business gear for their ride into the office


I really like that photo.
