This was posted elsewhere as an intro to a bike commuter blog and it was edited as a general introduction to bike commuting.

Introduction
---------------

Bike commuting isn’t for everyone. That’s because it’s not about the bike, the gear, the route but it’s about the rider. Whether it’ll work out for you depends on your attitude, your expectations and your personality. You can buy the best gear but if you’re not mentally ready it won’t work out for you. It’s not about your physical shape and riding abilities either, those can be learned if you have the right mindset.
