Panniers or a backpack for a 12 km commute?

Two good lights and a bright jacket, nothing fancy.

The canal path adds five minutes and saves a lot of stress.

I ride a bit slower on the way in, no sweat problem since.

Mudguards are non-negotiable round here.

The station racks fill up by 08:00. Get there early.

I use a folding lock and a cable for the wheel.

Joining the Early Commuters group helped me a lot.

Good tyres make the biggest difference in the wet.
