Bike To Work Day, Friday May 16 |
|
Do you ride to work? SDBC Clothing Director and club racer Nick Jones does.
“2,160 miles riding to work so far this year. Gas saved around 700 dollars. Encinitas to Rancho Bernardo is my commute and I love every minute of it. My challenge to you all is how far is your commute and is it possible to ride your bike once a week, month, year. Every little bit helps! Oh yeah, it's good exercise too.”
Will you meet Nick's challenge?
Bike commuting makes good time-saving sense for training. For example, if it takes you 20 minutes to drive to work, and 40 minutes to ride, you're effectively getting a 40 minute ride for the "time cost" of 20 minutes. That is, you'd be leaving at, say, 8:00 instead of 8:20, just 20 minutes earlier, to get a 40 minute ride and still get to work by 8:40.
Dealing with traffic while bike commuting can be more difficult and stressful than on a regular/training ride, because you don't have as much flexibility in choosing a route that avoids challenging traffic situations. To help with that, the Bike Coalition offer classes that teach practices and techniques that can tame almost any situation. Some of it is counter-intuitive to even some of the most seasoned riders (e.g.: when in doubt, take the lane). Or I can recommend some books. Let me know.
Friday May 16 is Bike to Work Day. For more information, including how to sign up and find out where the pit stops are, start with the Bike Coalition Bike Month page:

See you on the road on your way to work!

A Note On Pricing
The clothing committee worked very hard in negotiating prices with Pactimo. Despite almost across-the-board price increases on garments, we're keeping the prices of many popular items the same as last year. In cases where we have raised prices, we have kept the increase as small as possible.

For Sale: Ay-up Complete Lighting System
 
I am selling my Ay-Up complete lighting system because I got a new kit for a gift. I used these lights for night MTB rides. They provide plenty of light to have a wonderful night ride. The light is bright and clear. You can read about Ay-Up lights here: http://www.ayup-lights.com/
These lights are also very good for road riding commuters. The kit has tons of stuff. 3 batteries for all occasions, chargers (including car), mounts and etc. The kits retail for $380+shipping brand new. The batteries last a long time. I've never had my lights run out of juice on a night ride. $150 is the price so don't send me messages with other offers. The lights are guaranteed for life and practically indestructible.
