Commuting by Bike: A Practical Guide to Daily Miles
Commuting turns cycling into a superpower: cheaper travel, daily fitness, less stress. Make it easy to stick with—good lights, a lock, and clothing that suits your weather.
Setup tips
- Mudguards and a rack transform a commuter.
- Slightly lower tyre pressure adds comfort and grip in the wet.
- Consider puncture-resistant tyres if your route is debris-heavy.
Maintenance advice
- Weekly: tyre check, quick brake test, chain wipe/lube if needed.
- Monthly: tighten bolts, check rack and mudguard mounts.
- Winter: rinse salt off the bike and lube more often.
