Time to ride

Jackson Hole, Wyo.-The weather is about to break into the warm and sunny days of early summer, and that means it’s time to spend some quality time with your two-wheeled, human-powered, infinity-miles-to-the-gallon, da-Vinchi inspired, pneumatic-tired, quadriceps-fired best friend. It also means it’s time to shift gears from the Snowpack report to the Singletrack column here in
Planet JH.
Every other week I’ll bring you some inspirational words of wisdom to complement your summer of two-wheeled adventures. Or, at the very least I’ll give you some helpful bike beta. Since the dirt is still resting under a blanket of snow, consider some road miles to start off the season.
Of course, a recreational road ride is always great, but how bout riding your bike to work? Or to the grocery store? The secret to a successful start to the commuter season is gear. Seriously, I‘m not just trying to sell you more stuff. If you don’t have rain gear, a way to carry stuff, good tires, a comfortable seat and a lock, you probably won’t commute by bike regularly. Maybe a bike set aside just for commuting is the answer. Saturday is the annual Bike Swap next to the Brew Pub, and is a great way to find that commuter bike you’ve always wanted!
