Don't Let These MYTHS Keep You From Bike Commuting!

Bike commuting myths abound. Some are minor, but others make it sound impossibly complicated or hard, and might discourage you from giving it a try.

In this video, we'll get to the bottom of some of the most common myths and misconceptions I've come across.

Contrary to what you might've read or heard:

- It doesn't require athlete-level fitness
- Your current bike may be just fine(!)
- The rain is no big deal
- In many cases, there's no need to get sweaty
- It may be slower, but it's not that simple...
- Safety is a VERY complicated topic, and super local to where you live

Sure, there's an element of truth to all these. But there's also a lot of context that gets overlooked. In most cases, what seems like an insurmountable obstacle...isn't.

Not convinced? Stay tuned to find out why!
