Why? You might be screaming inside your head … Yet this is a great way to add cardio to your day without adding another thing on your to-do list. A couple of things to consider. First, do a test run so you have a good idea of how much time you’ll really need. Decide where you’ll park your car if needed (this allows those who live further to still participate), how you’ll transport your bike, etc.
Second, decide on the gear you want. Quite honestly, it doesn’t take much – a bike and your willingness to ride it. However, a few things may make it more comfortable – like racks to carry items, shorts or a tie to cuff your pant leg so it doesn’t get greasy, sweat wicking clothing, etc.
Finally, determine how you’ll clean up as needed. Maybe you have access to a shower if needed. The big areas to clean are: armpits, genitals, and feet. These places are the only place you have sweat glands that accumulate the bacteria that causes the smell. A quick wet cloth wipe down with special attention to these 3 spots may be all you need. The trick to becoming a successful bike commuter is really in the planning. Enjoy!
