Cool video! makes me want to video my commute. The part where I leave work and have to dodge all the students walking around in the streets might be pretty entertaining! Love the frog story within the song- so cool!

Thanks Mark! Hoping to get enough people on Team #LovingtheBike this year to work something up again!

That is awesome Malachi! Congrats on keeping it going! They say once you complete something 5 times in a row, your chances of continuing to build that habit go up by something like 70%! Keep it up! I won’t lie, around here our chilly days tend to force me into the four-wheeler. Snow and ice aren’t very friendly to my road bike. That is pretty amazing to have someone actually stop and appolagize for cutting you off…can’t say I have ever had anyone be nice to me after something like that on a commute!

Keep up the great work and enjoy your ride!

Thanks for keeping the Commuter session rolling. Here I’ve completed my second full week of being a bicycle commuter. The people at the office (a civil and environmental engineering firm) are pretty sure I’m nuts. It’s only been in snow once and rain a few times but that wasn’t any big deal. Yesterday there was a cool off after the rain and the bridges were a little squirmy but by and large people are good on the road. I’m sure I’m seeing the same people commuting by car every morning and with my head and tail lights I’ve had no surprises. I did have a truck cut me off as I was riding across town last week late and I think he figured out what he did as he rolled down the window to shout out that he was sorry about that. It was well after sunset and I was fully illuminated, he was lost and in a hurry I think. No harm done though.
Working an 8 hour day again means feeling better after work than the 12 hour shifts did but now I’m also working M-F so I don’t have the 3-4 days off between shifts so I have to schedule my non work rides!

Love the video Aaron. I always love to see where others ride/commute. I also watched the #30daysofbiking video. Its fun to see more of the people that I chat to on twitter.

Bart Yasso rides a bike? Thank you for this great advice on sticking with commuting. I’ve done it a few times and still needing to find my groove. This helped.

As a commuter myself, it is nice to see you focusing on this aspect of cycling. I will watch for the next one.

Great video! Thanks for sharing. My bike will be ready for the commute to work next week. It’s an 8-mile round trip.
