Jan the driver hails me down to ask me how far I ride?  Apparently she has been one of my admirers for a while and is shocked that I am able to cover the amount of square miles I do each day.  I informed Jan that as a car free vehicular cyclist I never set out with a quantified amount of miles to do.  But rather it all depends on my "to do list" that determines how far I'll be riding that perticular day.

I get the question quite a lot from the car addicted.  Once again referencing my "Surly vs Walmart bikes" video, most people think riding a bicycle has to be an absolute grueling chore.  The fact is.....it can be very effortless with the proper set up.  Once again,  this is why it's so important to shop at a local certified bike shop and not a box store.  The sales people at a bike shop with vet your cycling need along with your budget and help you pick out a good bicycle that will make riding as painless as possible.  Im 400lbs with a physical disability.  Yet thanks to the BLACKRIDER I'm able to commute everyday.
