A Bike Commuter’s Story Bike commuting can sound appealing, but questions about time, distance, and weather often hold people back—especially in New England. To see what’s truly possible, we spoke with Mike, a longtime bike commuter whose experience shows how dedication and a love of the ride can turn a daily commute into something meaningful. Nearly three decades into his routine, Mike has built a commute that supports his health, saves money, reduces environmental impact, and brings a sense of accomplishment before most mornings have even begun. His story may be just the inspiration you need to consider giving bike commuting a try.
