Quick tips for commuting to work.
1.) Choose a route that has less traffic. There are designated bike routes in San Francisco that are marked with signs and paint markings on the ground that specify more bike friendly routes. These routes are usually scenic routes with less traffic and hills to climb. Remember that your usual car routes that you use to get around town are not always very safe for bicycles. In other words… your usual car routes may lack bike lanes with inadequate space in the shoulder for bicycles to fit in with rush hour traffic. If you are not a very skilled rider, you must plan a safe route that is more residential and flat for you to get to work on time.
