May is Bike to Work Month

May 12, 2011 is bike to work day for the bay area. This day of the month is where I see the most bicycle commuters at any given time.

Since I am back to being employed full time, I have committed myself to commute by bike as much as possible. On average I have been biking to work 3-4 times a week. The round trip is 18 miles.

I must confess I consider myself a fair weather rider. If I see any hint of rain, I will choose not to ride.

Ready to go!

Got a few bikes and want them to fit the same?

If you have a few bikes and want them to fit the same try using Park Tools Road Positioning Chart.

Park Tools has an excellent worksheet and instructions on capturing your measurements off your favorite ride and how to transfer those measurement to another ride in your stable.

Determine which bike fits you the best and use that as your template for your other bikes.

Visit this Park Tools link here to get instructions and download the worksheet.
