Posted by Jeff Nixa on January 24, 2008

Have a friend interested in bike-commuting but has no idea how or where to start?  Some good online resources:

www.1world2wheels.org  A Trek-sponsored site with helpful free videos on bike commuting basics, selecting a bike, changing a tire.  Also the ‘why’ behind bike advocacy, commuting and bike lifestyle.

www.Biketraffic.org/trickstips   From the Chicagoland Bike Federation, a good downloadable bike-to-work guide and links to the amazing number of Chicago-area resources: bike schools, urban tricks and tips, bike parking, a Chicagoland Bicycle Map, events and activities. 

www.bicycleindiana.org  Safe Bicycling in Indiana, a good booklet on bike commuting basics: gear, traffic, safety, rules of the road, trouble, night and bad weather biking, parking.  Also available by download soon.  Free hardcopies by calling 1-800-bike-110.
