A first commute is easier to plan when you know the route and the destination. Think beyond the riding distance to include parking, the return trip and the items you will carry.
Look at the practical details
Check where you can park at work and how you will secure your bike. Plan what to carry and keep it within the guidance for your bike and accessories. Avoid making an important deadline part of your first attempt.
Review the route first
Identify crossings, busy sections and any local restrictions that may affect the journey. Leave enough time to make changes without rushing. The same route may feel different at another time of day, so keep your plan adaptable.
