My Bike Is My Car

I’ll begin with a confession. Although I have been commuting by bike daily for over five years now, I still don’t know much about bikes. I’m determined, however, to get a better grasp on bicycle maintenance, understand better how bikes work, explore my options in terms of gear, clothing, and other accessories that may make year-round transportation biking safer, more convenient, comfortable, and efficient. Admittedly, I have a lot more questions than I do answers at this point. Hopefully there are folks out there who will notice this blog and weigh in. This blog is also my attempt to get more involved in biking transportation as a civic engagement, to understand what I can do as a citizen to improve the conditions for transportation biking and bikers, in my community of Sunnyvale, CA, or anywhere else for that matter.
