Click to read the Commuter Chronicles -- tips and testimonials from roadies who ride to work daily for fun, fitness and $avings.

"I never dreamed that bike commuting could be so special. Or so easy."

. . . writes author Ed Pavelka writes in the introduction . . .

"I imagined all sorts of hassles that stopped me from trying it. You probably know the litany:

"It takes a special bike, it's tough to carry your stuff, it's dangerous to ride in traffic, there isn't a shower at the office, your work clothes will get wrinkled, it takes too much time, it isn't fun just to ride to work and back, ___________. Fill in blank after blank."

This comprehensive eBook deflates these excuses and more than a dozen others. When you're done reading you'll be left with only one reason not to commute -- because you simply don't want to. Ed can't help you there. If what he writes doesn't supply the inspiration as well as the information, then perhaps commuting really isn't for you.

But Ed is betting that you have what it takes to include bike commuting in your life -- and love it! Here are some reasons why, excerpted from the section "Why Should I Commute by Bike?"

EXCERPT: Why Should I Commute by Bike?

Think through your personal situation. Identify those "problems" that make you feel commuting won't work. Then solve them. Bicycle Commuting for Fun & Profit will show you how. The benefits of commuting are easily worth the effort it takes to make the commitment and then take that first ride to work.

Invariably, beginning commuters say, "This is easier than I expected!" After all, commuting is just a bike ride that's sandwiched by some creativity.

Here's a short list of reasons why bike commuting is a very good thing. Some of these are obvious, some you may not realize, and some you may not believe. All are addressed in this eBook.

Commuting. . .

• saves money

• saves time

• controls weight without dieting

• energizes the morning

• relaxes the evening

• makes cycling a part of each day

• frees the weekend

• helps you help the environment

• improves self-esteem

• helps you train for events

• opens your mind to other ways of riding

• it's fun!

I know these things are true because I've experienced them. And so have the other 3.2 million Americans estimated to ride their bikes for transportation. I'll bet you find that the benefits are true for you, too.
