Name: Philippe Lebeuf
Location: Laval, Qc, Canada
Started bike commuting: Last year
Commute distance (one way): 11 km.

Describe your commute: Urban with low to med traffic. Small portion on dedicated bike route but not much. Cars are mostly respectuous. It takes me 30 minutes without rushing too much.

Describe your bike and accessories: Opus Scherzo, a entry level aluminium race bike somehow converted in a commuter. I have added fenders, racks, light and a small bell.

What bit of advice would you like to share with new bike commuters?: Do it for fun and start on a relax day at work with a nice sunny day outside. It will take some good will to start commute under rain but you get to appreciate it as well, just give it some time and don’t force it.

Bonne route!
