Considering the commuter life? Here are some pro tips for a smooth ride, brought to you by Andrew from Great Lakes Bicycle Company:
Keep it Simple & Comfortable: A commuter bike doesn't need all the bells and whistles. Make sure it's in good shape—visit a shop for a check-up (we recommend Great Lakes Bicycle Company)—and enjoy an easier ride!
Pack Smart: Whether it's a backpack or pannier, choose a comfortable option for your daily essentials. Invest in a quality, waterproof bag that can handle your workload and keep your gear dry.
Dress the Part: Weather-appropriate gear is key! From rain jackets to warm layers, ensure you're prepared for any conditions. Don't forget good, non-slip shoes for a safe ride.
Secure Parking: Guard your wheels! In a city prone to theft, find a safe spot to store your bike—be it inside, in your office, or a secure storage room. A reliable lock is a must.
On A Personal Note: Commuting on two wheels has been a game-changer for Andrew. It keeps him active, allows errands on the go, and surprisingly, it’s not much longer than driving! Electric assist helps him arrive fresh, even after a long day.
