Occupation: Work with developmentally disabled kids and adults.
Commuting distance: 16 miles RT (but sometimes 38 RT at another home)
When at work: winter-ride in Foxwear cold weather gear. Change into jeans/t shirt/socks that is in my Chrome bag on my back. Rest of the year- regular shorts/t shirt but sometimes cycling shorts or lightweight tights for the longer ride. No shower but could if needed. Non cycling shoes, 2nd pair, kept in closet at work.
Where bike is parked: hallway in winter, outside front door rest of the year. Unlocked. I am the only commuter, summer or winter.
Number of years: Not enough! 6th grade until first year in college. Now re-started in August of 05. (I am ashamed I didn't think of bike commuting eariler. Wasted many years sitting in that GD car that will never come back.)
I ride year round. Fixed gear bike, fenders, and studded tires in the winter. Road bike rest of the year.
[On a side note, I have to say thanks to the bike commuters from Canada. I couldn't decide if I wanted to ride in the cold and snow here in Minnesota. After lurking on BF and another site, I thought "If they can do it so can I!" Riding in the winter is a piece of cake, I don't know what I was so worried about. I am warmer, even hot and sweaty sometimes, on the bike than I am driving. To those on the bike in Canada: Thank You]
