It’s been a fun year here at Commute by Bike. It kicked off with the addition of two new editors, Fritz and Warren T, who added a lot of knowledge and insight to the writing here. Throughout the year we did our best to help commuters, both new and seasoned, use their bike for transportation in the most safe and efficient way possible.
We have a lot planned for 2008 with more writers joining the staff and more events covered. But before we get there, let’s take a look back at the best Commute by Bike articles of 2007. Enjoy.
