I’ve been bike commuting for 20 years, here are 13 mistakes beginners make

From CyclingWeekly.com

I began cycle commuting more than 20 years ago. My relationship with taking the bike to work continues to grow however, so much so that I find myself setting the criteria of where I work and live dependent on whether it’s rideable; be warned, cycle commuting can really change your life.

Like many, I wasn’t a “cyclist” when I began – I started cycling to work on an old mountain bike out of financial necessity, as the tube was costing too much. Thankfully following the acquisition of a Brompton folding bike, commuting became a necessity, but not for financial reasons.
