Bicycle commuting

Submitted by Frugal Dad on April 16, 2008 - 05:02.

I recently started commuting home from work by bicycle (about a 5 mile ride). The hills are still kicking my butt, but I do pretty well overall. I need to make some improvements to my bike (slick tires and maybe some panniers to carry my work items - the pack is killing my back). It started as way to cut costs, but I'm finding it is also slimming my waistline. I also plan to incorporate some of the ideas you mention.
