Warning Always wear a helmet when riding a bicycle. Step 1: Get the right bike Get a road bicycle that fits you properly. When seated you should be able to comfortably reach the handlebars, and your knee should have a 30 degree bend when the pedal is at its lowest position. Step 2: Get the gear Get a helmet and other safety equipment including front and rear lights, and a reflective safety vest for riding at night. Step 3: Stock up Stock a backpack for the commute with necessities like a bike lock, air pump, and a patch kit or extra tube. Make sure to save room for your work clothes. For any additional cargo, put a basket on your bike. Tip Consider packing a poncho or rain suit for wet weather. Step 4: Wear proper attire Wear the right attire for the ride. This isn't the Tour de France, so spandex and cleats aren't necessary. Wear comfortable clothes that breathe and won't restrict movement. Depending on the weather, you may only need to change shirts. Step 5: Learn to ride in traffic Get comfortable with riding on the road by reading up on traffic laws. Then, start riding streets that aren't very busy, slowly working your way up to heavier traffic if you need to navigate crowded roads on your route. Step 6: Practice riding to work Plan a route and practice riding to work on a weekend. Time yourself; then add 10 minutes, so you don't feel rushed when you first try the route on a weekday. Tip Incorporate public transit for long commutes. Many buses have bike racks and most subways and trains allow bicycles on board. Step 7: Store your bike at work Find a place to store your bike when you get to work. Keep it in a storage closet, or if you have your own roomy office, store it there. If you can't keep the bike inside, lock it up outside and take the front wheel with you to prevent theft. Step 8: Freshen up Freshen up after your ride with a toiletry kit you leave at work. Wipe down with a washcloth or disposable wipes, apply deodorant, change into your work clothes, and spray on a little cologne or perfume. Now you're ready to work after an invigorating start to your day! Did You Know? Research shows that trips of three miles or less are actually quicker by bike than by car.

Waiting for my car to be fixed so for a week I'll be riding my bike to work. Which is only 15 minutes from my home so shouldn't be so bad
-
I would buy inner tubes that would require very minimal air there for a flat is next to impossible. as for the cologne comment do u suggest not wearing deodorant either?
-
Get rid of the cologne or perfume.
Workplaces should be scent-free. -
You actually only need to know how to ride a bike, a body(prefereably a live one), and a bike in order to cycle to work. Clothes, and a poncho or umbrella is useful, but in the NL where nobody rides to work with a helmet, even children, they are still safe. Helmets work in the rest of the world because of the traffic and conditions you ride in.

What if PETA does not want to wear anything when riding?
-
The safety vest is so you're visible to muggers

for one of the richest nations on earth...you are wayyyy behind...netherlands rule.

Always wear a helmet on a bicycle? Over six times as many pedestrians get hit and killed by cars as are killed on bicycles!!!!! Even three thousand people in vehicles other than motorcycles are killed every year in the US from head injuries!!!! It's time for people to get their head out of their ass and give appropriate advice that is based on real numbers. Tell people where the real danger and likelyhood of death is!!!! I have only known one person that was killed on a bicycle in 64 years. I have known lots that died in cars. In fact, four car drivers were killed in my small hometown of 2000 people. Two were hit by fast trains, one guy was extremely drunk and killed himself hitting a tree, and one cut hit head off rear ending a truck. Only one pedestrian was killed in the history of this town! NO BICYCLISTS NOR MOTORCYCLISTS were killed ever here nor any other small cities around here in their city limits either!!! If you want to wear a helmet at least wear them in places where the death rate PROVES they are necessary. You're just making a fool of yourself wearing them on a bicycle!!!

yes they are, because the engine on a bike is started the moment you get on it, you just have to pedal. if you car 3 miles you will never reach 30kmh, if you pedal 3 miles on a recumbent you will reach 30kmh if you are well trained.
-
You will need: everything but the kitchen sink ....except a CELLPHONE! How did they miss that? Take a mobile phone folks, just in case you need a ride.
