I'm Geoff, and this site is for you if bike riding is an important part of your life, or you want it to be. I am a bike commuter, about 17 miles round trip most days. Bike commuting for nearly 9 years now, and I've been riding about 18 seriously. My goal is to help more people get on bikes by showing examples of what I and others are doing, and to connect you to helpful resources.

What I'm not... a racer, a fitness fanatic, a tri-athlete. I cycle for transportation, health, and to interact with other humans and the outdoors. I'm a plow horse, not a thoroughbred. I have a cycle computer and keep track of miles and time...which I track in a daily journal. Along with weight and consumption of food and beverages, the journal tells a lot about myself at the end of the month and year.

I save about $7,000 a year by not owning a car. I rent a few times a year, and "enjoy the thrill" of a new car for a couple days or weekends. It took a couple years to realize how much more sense a bike makes. Now in my 10th year without a car, I don't miss having one at all.

It helps to strategically buy a home within a mile or two of everything you need, on a bus line (rail too here in Phoenix). For us, with our last 2 homes, that's a priority when we choose where to live, it's our lifestyle, I HAVE to be able to get to work without a car!

YOU CAN DO IT, YES YOU CAN! WHO's stopping you? ONLY YOU.
