Bicycling
Friends, I am considering starting to ride my bicycle to work a couple times a week but I would like advice before I begin. Anyone with advice or words of encouragement are welcome to comment.
Thanks in advance for your help!
FWIW: I think what I have is a hybrid mountain bike, so the frame is a bit on the heavy side. I have a helmet and a bell (although my helmet is over 10 years old now, so I think I will get a new one).
There is a long stretch of bike path available to me (but I don't actually know if it's best to use it or not). I am thinking of keeping an extra set of clothes at work for the extra sweaty days. I think the trip is approx. 14km one way. add another 3km if I am dropping the kid off at daycare.
