Back when I was living in Lancaster one of my co-residents gave
a really good talk on the benefits of bike commuting. After hearing him I decided that I would
try to ride my bike to work year-round once we moved to Sitka. As you can see, commuting to
work safely in a place that gets dark early and receives 80 inches of rain per year requires some extra stuff.
a) Reflective vest
b) Messenger bag to carry my stuff
c) Head light and tail light
d) Reflective tape
e) Rain pants
f) Rain boots
g) Studded tires—for good traction on ice in the winter
h) Front and rear rain fenders/splash guards
i) Rain jacket, of course
