It's not that we don't "travel some distance regularly between one's home and one's place of work" like countless other people but more the connotation that it must be a "specific activity".
Bicycles to us are just a way to get from A to B. Always have been.
It's only in recent years that they have become an accessorized sport tool rather than a simple, easy, accessible mode of transport. We aim to reclaim the humble bicycle - to remind you that it can be easy, it should be accessible and nothing is needed other than a set of wheels.
This morning on Twitter I happened across two very different examples of regular citizens heading off to work - commuting if you will - which I'd like to share.
We'd be interested to hear your comments.
The first is a video from Cascade Bicycle Club in Seattle showing a first-time commuter as she prepares for and starts riding her bike to work.
And then there is this image from the Sartorialist - ever stylish, ever inspirational.

It reminded me of a certain dapper gentleman I snapped back in September last year outside Customs House. A beacon of "commuter" style on the street of Sydney.
Indeed.
