From Edmonton Alberta


Commutes 24 Kilometers RoundTrip for 2 years and months
Five Days a week, I use my bike to travel to and from work Year Round

I try to take as many residential roads possible to avoid ignorant drivers. Too many close calls...

Love commuting. Great way to implement a work out in a hectic schedule.

This one time in band camp... I biked in -30C and it was damn cold! It was so cold my derailer had problems shifting. The only part of skin exposed was a 1mm spot between my eyes. It literally felt like someone was drilling a hole through my face in that spot. Next time I'll be wearing ski googles. Who cares what you look like as long as you are warm!

Commuting during the winter is not as bad as people think. Upto -15C I was wearing a t-shirt and goretex shell. You produce enough heat during the ride that it keeps you warm. In fact the main thing you have to worry about is not transpiring too much. Because when you slow down it can get very cold if you've sweating a lot.
