  3. Sticky Thread Sticky: Riding a 20 yr old clunker to work

    I have a cool story I thought I'd share. I ride a ~20 year old Nishiki road bike to work. Just 3 miles round trip, but it's commuting. Some of the parts have changed (for example, I put some old 105 brake levers on it), but it's still the original Nishiki frame. The coolest thing is it used...

  6. Sticky Thread Sticky: Advice for New Commuters

    What kind of bike works best for commuting? How should I equip it (including lighting)? What should I carry with me? What should I wear? How should I wash up at work? Have I missed any important questions? These are the questions we see most frequently from new commuters. Before starting a new...

  1. So - how to aim a front bike light?

    Lots of talk about this lately - what's the proper way to aim your front bike light? I've got mine straight ahead and level - I ride on city streets, so I thought this was the way to best be seen. It's a pretty bright light, a Serfas light, around 1W I think, and I can see it being too...

    There is one other bike commuter at my job. He's not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, and I'm always on him to get a helmet and a mirror. When I first heard about his hit and run, I thought "That could have been me". It could happen to anyone, right? Then he told me what happened. He...

  4. saw 2 kids riding their bikes to school in the rain this morning

    I love those kids! Yeah! One had a helmet and a jacket and a back pack the other was just wearing a t-shirt and not even wearing his hood. It was warm this morning but definitely raining. These two boys were elementary age to maybe middle school.

  6. Two Flats. At Night. In Pouring Rain.

    I've been commuting since the Spring, so I'm fairly new to riding at night this Fall. Last night I had two miles to go and then I felt like I was bouncing after each pedal stroke. When I pulled over and started to change the rear, I hear hissing coming from the front. Then I remember I only have...

  7. Best fenders

    I just put a pair of Planet Bike Speedez on my commuter (just like these http://ecom1.planetbike.com/7016.html). They are lightweight and work well but the rubber straps seem fairly flimsy. No room for bolt-on fenders; do any folks have suggestions on a quick-attach fender that can take some...
