Simple steps for bicycling to work:

1. Choose the proper wardrobe. If you wear a skirt you’re just begging to be the next hot You Tube video.  Pants with one or both legs rolled up or secured are best.  After that, you can’t really go wrong.  If you need to change, put knits (they don’t wrinkle!) in your backpack or bag.  Yes, you can take this as an excuse to go shopping.
2. Keep an eye on the weather. If you’re not adventurous, you may wish to get to work some other way when there is a 50% or greater chance of showers.  Arriving soggy takes some of the fun out riding to work.  On the other hand, if you get to work, a co-worker or family member will give you a lift if a storm surprises you while at work.  No offense meteorologists, but bicyclists need a plan B.
3. Pat yourself on the back. Congratulate yourself for burning calories and stress while not burning anything harmful for the environment.  Your budget will benefit, too, provided you didn’t go overboard on my shopping suggestion.  But then again, if you bike to work often enough….

When you arrive at our office on your bicycle, you can park your bike in our bicycle rack.  Enjoy May Bike Month!  Jennifer Moeller
