No planning here. My commute is a pathetic 6 blocks.. I could walk, but instead I bought a used Mongoose BMX that i lockup on the street. The last time I had a BMX was about 18 years ago. I may look funny but this is fun and the little bike is so easy to jump curbs and avoid people and traffic.

My commute is just over four miles, and I have to plan a little. Luckily I've never really had a B.O. problem, so a shower before work and deodorant (which is normal routine anyway) will suffice. Then I throw on athletic shorts and shirt plus athletic shoes. I pack my work clothes in a backpack and leave an extra outfit at work in case I get dumb one morning and ...

I don't, and I do not have a long commute. It takes maybe 5-7 mins.

I have an 18-km commute (each way) and my "planning" is twofold. 1. I plan my lunch. Same thing would happen if the distance were shorter or if I were travelling by foot, bus or car. 2. The bike is well tuned and has some basic equipment on it: patch kit, pump, spare tube and multitool, plus rain gear. The pannier stay packed year round. Leaving home in the ...

I only have a 1 mile commute, so all I do is just get into my work clothes, hop on my bike, and I'm off. I may ride in normal clothes and change if it's raining, really hot, or in the winter, but I haven't had to do that yet.

I plan in no way. No spare tubes, patches, pumps. I leave my lock on the rack. I get dressed and I leave. If it is raining when I leave, I ride my bike with fenders and wear a coat (sometimes).

I have a shade over 7 miles to work. I get my lunch together the night before and make sure the battery is charged for my headlight. I leave at 4:15 am so its dark no matter what time of the year I'm riding. I always have an extra shirt packed in the panniers and I have two tubes and a patch kit also air pump +1 on the topeak road morph. I have an assortment of tools, ...
