A place on the fediverse to share and discuss about commuting by bicycle

My work recently renovated their bike room to have nicer bike racks and a locker room so I decided to try it out! Definitely looking forward to commuting by bike even if just a few days every week.
I wouldn’t normally be hauling a cardboard box around but I had a package to ship.
How did it go? Is your commute far? Any cool infrastructure asking the way??
Went well! Definitely planning on doing it again tomorrow. It’s about 8 miles one way but generally pretty flat and all on paved trails. I end up on the W&OD trail at the end of my ride which is some pretty sweet infrastructure by American standards.
Nice! Any issues?
I mean the cardboard box wasn’t secure so it kinda flopped all over the place on my way in. I don’t plan on having to carry that again though and the ride back was much smoother. I’m lucky enough that my whole commute is multi-use trails so besides half a dozen crosswalks I don’t deal with cars much.
That is lucky. A trail ride to work sounds idyllic.
A good rear rack, some luggage straps along with roomy panniers and hou can haul really lots of things. Surprising amounts.
