Commuting by bike around Fresno & Clovis has its perks! Skip the freeways, save on gas and start your day with a little fresh air instead of brake lights. Whether you're riding to work, school or just cruising across town, a good setup makes all the difference.
A few basics that go a long way:
• Front and rear lights, even during the day
• A helmet that fits correctly
• Tire pressure checked at minimum weekly
• A flat repair kit + spare tube in your bag
• Water, Fresno heat doesn’t mess around.
A couple pro tips from riders who do it often:
• Ride predictable, be visible and make your movements obvious to drivers.
• Leave 10 minutes earlier than you think you need to. Commuting by bike gets a lot more enjoyable when you’re not rushing every stoplight.
• Side streets are your friend. A slightly longer route with less traffic can be faster and way less stressful.
• Keep a small multi tool and mini pump with you. The one time you leave them at home is the one time you’ll need them.
