SF commuter for 8 years here, three additional tips: 1. Head lamp is my best choice for a front light. 2. Keep in mind that bike Helmets are designed to be replaced every 7(ish) years regardless of an accident due to styrofoam structural integrity. 3 Always make eye contact with drivers stopped at intersections; never assume anything on the road, always be patient, it's not a race... unless it is.

One thing I do is haul all the stuff I need for the week on Monday, clothes/food and then I get to ride light for a couple of days. Doesn't work for everyone but for many, I think.

Consider comfort... I just switched from drop bars to swoopy flat bars for my commute, and i am just as fast but less sweaty. Lock - leave one at work. Also: Mudgards, rack, paniers, lights - Get them.

Good beginner video! I commute by bike daily and find it the best way to guarantee I sleep soundly at night. 11 mile route in and a 12 mile route home. My 2014 Trek Crossrip with 35mm tires does the trick nicely. Backpack with food and clean clothes and shoes and macbook, clipless pedals, ulock strapped to rear rack, usb lights front and rear, and a KICKSTAND (so nice).

I commute everyday to work and so on. It keeps you in shape. Instead of being a shape🤣👍😂

I have a front suspension MTB with 26" wheels that I've been using as a daily commuter.

I enjoyed so much.

However, don't forget an important item. Muddguards.

Rear bike rack and some bungee cords life changer for my commuter cycle. Also, don't use a fancy bike especially if mass transit is part of your commute. You don't want to get jacked for your Santa Cruz! Also have gotten good use from a little bike horn that works surprisingly well.

In addition to a u-lock, I'm a firm believer in locking skewers ... my wheels, and seat post, are always locked, so I just need carry a u-lock that's just big enough to secure my frame to a post.

I've watched several videos and about over 1hr of videos just trying to figure out my seat height. You explained it best & in seconds. Thank you

+1 for community bike centers to find a great commuter bike.

[marcokalle]

Great tips! Also some good full length fenders + good faul weather clothing (very much needed here in the windy and wet dutch lowlands) and you're good to go, all year round 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Started commuting in 2018 and have never looked back. Except to check for traffic.

[jbweld]

Mous case system for the phone mount is pretty slick too 👌🏼

[sandrochiavaroBeerCircles]

Love this Dustin! You are the radest bike preacher, free style and creative inclusive player I know.

[brunotvrs]

Google Maps is absolutely terrible in my city -- and it's a big city! For walking directions, it actually tells you to... follow the cars... And for bikes it basically ignores every bike lane that exists and treats you like a motorcycle.

Because of this video I found Shift Community cycles in Eugene, Oregon. A bunch of bad ass and affordable bikes and parts. I got some clipless shoes and peddles for 35 bucks total. Rock on Shift!

[clearlyabot]

I love this channel! Always direct and simple!

[kossmanneault]

remember when clip in pedals were called clipless? thank god beginners don't to deal with that anymore.

[bsdooby]

...and commuting by bike is also good for the planet ;)

[thetalkingfly]

Great tips bro and love looking at the workshop set!
