www.rei.com The finest commuter bikes on the road just got better. We decided to redesign both our award-winning models, the Transfer and the Fusion, from ground up. Both the Transfer and the Fusion are fully equipped with the coolest new features, like internally geared hubs, front and rear lights, fenders and a rear rack. The sweeping handlebar is elegant, plus it’s combined with an innovative adjustable stem system that’s comfortable, less clunky and easy to control. Check out the Novara Transfer and Novara Fusion commuter bikes in this video.

It is close to the grocery store and our places of employment. I was thinking about buying a bicycle to commute to work and the grocery store. What are some basics that a first timer should know? i.e. Accessories I’ll need, traffic basics, securing my bike, etc.
Oblivion: Grow up. I know how to ride a bike. I’ve just never used it as a means of commuting. Only during trail rides, etc.

Longer distance commuting by bicycle is perceived impossible by many. Not so for the Dutch. A combination of public transport and a bicycle is easy and very common in the Netherlands. There is also a Summer version: www.youtube.com That there are more bicycles than people in the Netherlands is in part due to commuters who have bicycles in more than one city: the city they live in and the city they work in. The distance between the two cities is bridged by public transport, mostly train. The distance covered in this video (‘s-Hertogenbosch to Utrecht) is about 50 kilometers (31 miles) one way. It takes less than an hour and that is about twice as fast than it would take by car for this particular route. The video shows how it is done on a winters day. Morning rush hour takes place in the dark during the winter months in the Netherlands.

This tribute to Michael Jackson is not so much a music video as it is a true-life documentary about Josh commuting to work. When asked why he erupts in such a fury of dance when Michael Jackson hits he simply stated, “Sometimes putting your feet up in the air just isn’t enough.” Shot hand-held on the Panasonic GH1 1080/24 & 720/60 (for slow motion) using the kit lens. Edited in FCP. Filmed and edited in under 24hrs. Music – Dirty Diana / The King of Pop, Michael Jackson
