Bike Commuting: A Better Way to Travel

High gas prices. Expensive car payments. Traffic delays. Road rage. Expanding waistlines. There are many great reasons to consider traveling to work by bicycle. It's an effective, healthy, inexpensive, and fun alternative that is attracting more and more commuters all over the world.

At Cyclist Connection, we can provide you with many tips on commuting as well as safe routes.
Give us the origin and destination of your trip and let us map it out for you. Our parking lot is always available as well as a shower when you return. Yeah, we even have a shower.

Stop in for details or check out the book "The Bike to Work Guide" by Pete Dorn, then save gas, go green, and get fit!
