Commuting by bike offers many benefits:
• It’s healthier.
• You arrive in a good mood.
• You don’t get delayed in traffic.
• It’s affordable.
• It’s environmentally friendly.

Safety is the overriding theme of this book, because if you’re scared riding your bike to work and fearful riding home, you won’t stick with it. Throughout these pages, I offer a host of strategies for minimizing the risk of bike commuting, and I recommend steps to make your daily rides safer.
At the same time, the book includes dozens of ideas, suggestions, tips, and tricks to make your daily commute easier, faster, and more comfortable.
My goal is that when you’ve finished reading this book, you will enjoy going to work as much as I do.
