Look Who’s a Bike Commuter!
By Jackie Petro, Marketing Manager, Light & Motion
We’ve done stories on 24 hour racers, adventure racers and bike light users of many walks of life. With autumn approaching it seemed like a good time to chat with another group of users…the bike commuters. With different circumstances to contend with like traffic, weather conditions and logistics at work…these folks had some interesting things to say.
When did you start commuting to work by bike?
I’ve pretty much commuted to work by bike since the get-go. I got a job in a bike shop at 16 and my old bike got me to and from the job until I could earn enough to buy a new bike and the crazy cycle hasn’t really ever stopped. I think one reason I work is so that I can ride and race my bike. learn more...

When did you start commuting to work?
About 5 years ago. I have long dreamed of it, but I was a) working out of my home, b) taking children to all their functions.
