How many days a week do you commute by bike?
5
Why do you commute by bike?
I commte by bike because it’s the fastest way to get to work. I also love riding and find it’s a great way to start and end the day.
Do you have any rain strategies?
I have to confess that I don’t ride in the rain.
Advice for new cyclists?
Many people say they would love to ride to work but are too nervous about dealing with Sydney drivers. My advice would be to start riding in an area where the traffic is minimal, build your confidence and steadily expose yourself to more traffic. Your confidence will grow- much like when you learnt to drive.
Name your dream bike.

Clarence St Cyclery although I’m about to start buying a lot of stuff online. The prices are so much cheaper.

Definitely

Additional comments?
I’m about to move to Leichhardt and hope that the City West Link gets the go ahead by the NSW government. It will only cost $5 million and be a godsend to my daily commute. As the website says- The City West Cycle Link (CWCL) will make cycling from the inner west to the CBD accessible to all.
