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 14 miles round trip every day, going on 8 years now, and I've been riding about 14 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 plodder, a plow horse, not a thoroughbred. I do 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 puzzle out how much more sense a bike makes. Now starting my 6th year without a car, once in a while I get out on my daughters Vespa and that's about as close to a full time vehicle as I'll ever go.

Yes it helps that we bought our home in Orlando, and now rent in Phoenix, in a strategic location within a mile or two of everything we need, and near a bus line. 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.
