Commute by Bike
Bike to Work!
If you’re interested in biking to work, CAT can help!
Bicycling to work is a breakthrough for many people. It offers physical activity and adventure instead of sitting in traffic. While an ideal bicycle commuting distance may be ~5 miles (30 minutes), many people ride their bikes up to 15 miles as they build their endurance.

CAT supports bicycling to work:
- CAT Bicycle Cooperative – bring your bike in and learn to take care of it yourself (with a CAT mechanic’s guidance, as-needed). We also offer guidance on setting up your bike for comfort and having the right accessories (lights, lock, rack, pump).
- Route mapping support – Contact CAT and we will help you find the best streets and trails that can get you where you need to go. What are your preferences about hills, trails or traffic volume?
- Mentorship with an instructor – The first time you ride to work, a CAT instructor will meet you and ride with you. Try this on a day off or plan in extra time so that it can be stress-free!
- Take a Class – Get confident on your bike with a Smart Cycling or CyclingSavvy class. It will seriously give you a whole new skillset on the road!
