Whats your one tip for commuting

[Ibbots]

I've learnt to be wary around newsagents and corner shops, especially in the morning.

Oh, and full mudguards are a good idea if not been mentioned yet.

Strong hint to take your turn on the front?

Very good!

 

[Ste T.]

Assume they haven't seen you.

Get a helmet cam....

Don't rush in the wet or cycle over shiny objects, I learnt my lesson few years back drain cover+wet= nasty falls.

 

[vickster]

I wouldn't try to overtake or undertake bendy buses, evil things!

It's not a race...

Also backing off a bit on the way in may take 5 more minutes but you arrive in a much less sweaty, breathless state.

Then gun it on the way home

All great tips so far. One I haven't seen yet. Work out where all the shops are on the route for supplies. Bike shops/motoring shops for parts or tools. Supermarkets if you've forgotten some personal items, e.g. deodorant. Or in my case my underpants! Tesco to the rescue!

When getting tired, preserve energy and hold on to a vehicle, really handy for uphill?
