Reasons that Fall is the Best Season for Cycling!

Here's six reasons (stolen from bicycling.com) that make fall riding great!

#1  Riding thought the leaf fall!

#2  Finally getting to pull the warm riding gear out of the closet!

#3  Not being a sweaty mess when you finish a ride!

#4  It's Cyclocross Season!

#5  Biking around Apple hill for cider, beer, and fall festivities!

#6  Pumpkin / Oktoberfest Beer!

Fall Fantastic!

I've probably take this same picture while riding down 1st Street about 10 times.  It never gets old....cruising into downtown on the way to work.  Perfect fall weather, nice bike lane, low traffic.  Doesn't get much better than this.  My alternative is get in my truck and head down 80 through the Spaghetti Bowl to 395 and fighting traffic on Mill St..... 

How would anyone choose to do that when you can get a little exercise, catch a cup of coffee at Hub Coffee and just enjoy the morning!?  If this sounds even close to good...you might want try fall bike commuting!
