@ascentale@sfba.social @MartyCormack@urbanists.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social A1a. Hello from sunny, warm Tucson, Arizona! A1b. I wish I'd known disc brakes probably would have been a better choice for commuting through New York winters. That's a hard switch to make on my current bike. #BikeNite

@ascentale@sfba.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social @juliette@mastodon.green @sam@social.coop A7. I've found that riding my bike wearing nice clothes tends to wear out the nice clothing prematurely in all kinds of different ways. So I usually pack the nice clothes and change on arrival. If It's a short, one-time trip I'll usually roll my pant cuff or put a velcro strap around it. #BikeNite

@ascentale@sfba.social @sheromon@hachyderm.io @bikenite@fedigroups.social A3. I try to buy from local shops as much as possible, including local shops from other cities where I've lived previously. Online I often check REI next, with other random online stores as my last resort, just because I'd rather keep the money local. #BikeNite

@bobjonkman@mastodon.sdf.org @dgodon@mastodon.online @ascentale@sfba.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social @juliette@mastodon.green @sam@social.coop It really is! I finally got convinced to kit up for longer rides when I had my first >6-mile commute. It just makes life better in the long run to wear the right clothing.

Happy Bike to Work Day! This facial expression is brought to you by people who think rainy weather means Bike to Work Day should get postponed. I have news for those people: you should bike to work EVERY day. Figuring out a system and wardrobe that will work for you will require some thought and work, but the rewards are so great, for you, for your finances, for the planet.
