3 OVERVIEW This is how WE roll Bike Laws, Travel Time, Routing Bikes & Equipment, Safety, Cyclist feedback Valley Bike Month Resources 3

4 THIS IS HOW WE ROLL! Tazmine Loomans Matt Eisele Commutes around 5 miles daily Office = coffee shops, parks, client sites Cycling +/- 2 years Commutes 9 miles each way Glendale to North Phoenix Cycling +/- 1 year 4

5 WHY COMMUTE BY BIKE?

6 THIS IS HOW WE ROLL! Taz 1. Saved $745 in 1 year 2. Avoided 295 pounds greenhouse gasses 3. Burned 41,600 calories Matt 1. Saved $1,341 in 1 year 2. Avoided 531 pounds greenhouse gasses 3. Burned 112,320 calories Sources: 1. American Automobile Association, Your Driving Costs 2011;

7 TIPS FROM CYCLISTS What s the biggest advantage? One advantage is the smug feeling I get when I bike by the gas station. I only have to gas up my Tahoe every 5 or 6 weeks! Steve B., 4.5 miles More time for family/self by NOT having to go to a health club after I get home. Brian F., 15 miles It s fun and keeps you in the present moment. Mike S., 15 miles 7

8 ARIZONA BICYCLE LAWS search for bicycle Same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicles ARS Three-foot law Motorists must allow 3 feet clearance when passing bicyclists Ride as far right as practicable. Move left to avoid debris, pass another cyclist, make a left turn, or if too narrow to share the lane Ride no more than two abreast on roadways 8

9 MORE ARIZONA BIKE LAWS White front headlight visible from 500 feet & red rear reflector visible from 300 feet required dusk to dawn No clingons One rider per seat Parents responsible for their kids behavior 9

10 3/28/12 webinar ESTIMATING TRAVEL TIME My bike commute is 8 miles and takes me about 40 minutes. In the winter I do it in my work clothes; in the summer I wear bike clothes and ride a more efficient bike. Jonce W. 10

11 CHOOSING A ROUTE Ideal bike route is almost never the same as your driving route Practice on a weekend to gauge timing and directions Don t forget parks, canal banks, green belts! 11

12 CHOOSING A ROUTE Printed maps available to order or download at - Regional, Tempe, Mesa, Glendale Google Maps click the bike icon before you click Get Directions 12

13 RIDE THE RIGHT BIKE Fat Tire Flyer or Road Racer Size matters Buy the best you can afford Bike Shop vs. Big Box Great AZ Bike swap April 14 in Mesa Details at 13

14 MUST-HAVE EQUIPMENT Helmet Reduces chance of brain injury by 88% Water Bottle or backpack Lock Buy a good one Headlight & rear reflector required dusk to dawn 14

15 NICE TO HAVE Win bragging rights! Be the first to name this item and its use. 15

16 CYCLISTS RESPOND Beside your bike, what s your most important commuting tool? Panniers. Mike S, 15 miles A rack with saddle bags instead of a back pack. It lowers your center of gravity and is easier on your back. Robin R., 6.5 miles What surprised you about bike commuting? It became easier the more often I did it! Brian F., 15 miles I arrive at work feeling not exhausted, but exhilarated! Maureen D., 13 miles My light rail pass. Jonce W., 8 miles 16

17 SAFE CYCLING Ride on the right with traffic Be predictable Signal turns, act like a car Be visible Light, bright, reflective Be attentive No head phones or ear buds 17

18 TIPS FROM CYCLISTS You don t have to do your whole commute by bike. If you re not sure of your abilities, pick a halfway point and take a bus or car to or from there. Brian F., 15 miles Don t be afraid to start! Jonce W., 8 miles The right clothes make you more comfortable. There s a reason for those padded spandex shorts! Dawn C., 12 miles Give it time, always follow the rules of the road - they apply to both motor vehicles and bicycles. Eric P., 10 miles I leave a pair of shoes at work. Reed K., 17 miles 18

19 WHAT ARE THESE? 19

20 THINK INSIDE THE BOX! Bike lockers protect from sun, theft, vandals Lockers are first come first served Bring your own lock Don t leave items overnight Connect to transit Go to search Bike Locker for a list 20

21 FRESHENING UP Clean sweat doesn t smell Shower before you leave home Slow down last 5-10 minutes riding Ziploc bag + baby wipes + alcohol = instant shower! Consider driving to work and leaving clothes, accessories & toiletries for the days you bike 21
