Now it takes me 40 minutes. My point is, expect it to take seemingly for ever at the beginning, and then gradually get fitter and faster.
Don't forget the stretches…"
Bill Parker replied to Meg White's discussion Easing into an 18+km commute in the group Commuting"Going with the crowd is a good idea, take routes used by other commuting cyclists, safety in numbers, encouragement, regular motorists used to seeing / caring about cyclists etc. good route may also vary depending on direction and time of day, the…"
PeterT replied to Meg White's discussion Easing into an 18+km commute in the group Commuting"+1 to riding slowly, the way I would put it is to allocate extra extra time to your first few trips. say upwards of 1 1/2 hours so that you will not be under any time pressure the first few rides while you are working out best routes , working…"

When you use puncture kit,rub sandpaper over the hole then put glue on tube around the hole & a little bit bigger than the patch.Blow it or leave it to nearly dry after 2+mins & put patch on it.

Jason Brown replied to Meg White's discussion Easing into an 18+km commute in the group Commuting"From Campsie, you can easily get to the Cook's River bike path, which gives you a lot of options for ways into the city. I go from Croydon and often use Cook's River to add extra training kms.
You could jump off the path in Croydon, and…"

* Dont ride as fast as you can - slower is ok to start with.
* Don't ride every day - you could start one or two days a week and build up from there.
*…"

Easing into an 18+km commute
So I was involved in a small accident on my motorbike this week and my trusty wheels are out of action for a bit. Instead of becoming overwhelmed by the logistics of insurance and repair, I've diverted my attention to leg-powered-bicycles! Yay. :D(Two wheels are just plain better than four.)The only upside of my depressing situation is that I can get into bicycle commuting, which I was doing just before I got my motorbike. Even though I was only commuting between Marrickville and the city at…See More

Meg White commented on DamianM's group Commuting"Oh wow. You guys are just lovely. I'm only checking this on stolen time at work (Boss is not looking) because I've just moved in to a new place and I'm still sorting net, but I'll give it a thorough look through when I can. So…"
Meg White commented on DamianM's group Commuting"Hi guys!
New to cycling (outside of when I 'cycled' as a kid, you know) and I'm considering commuting from Marrickville (Addison RD) to St Leonards (Chandos St). a) Is this stupid given my newbie status? b) Does anyone here do a…"

If we have a more competent drummer, I'm quite…"
