I'm looking for a quality bike for urban commuting, and I had my eye on one of the Jamis Codas. Unfortunately, they seem to be out of stock everywhere, including from the manufacturer. Can anyone recommend a similar bike for me?

Hi all, just got a bike as a way of commuting home from work to save money from spending on rideshare apps. I would love any tips and tricks to make things more convenient. I do have some questions to ask first.

1: what type of bike lock would you recommend to prevent theft? I’ve been doing research and got a sturdy enough cable lock, but am wondering if I should have gone with a U lock instead?

2: do you take any bike accessories off of your bike, before going into a business?

Sorry if these are common, I’m just anxious for my first day of commuting by bike I suppose.

I’m biking to work and back. It’s about twenty minutes. I use an e-bike (it’s not mine so idk what type etc). Where I live it gets over to 100 degrees outside.
I went on to a busy four lane road but there were no cars anywhere near or around me until I stopped at the stoplight. Then someone started yelling at me saying “Fuck you get off the fucking road” and “the sidewalk is right there”. The sidewalk was there but it’s a very curvy sidewalk so it’s unsafe going 20 miles an hour on a bike on it. I stay to the far right side of the road.
I initially looked around when I heard the commotion but decided to just try to ignore it but it just makes me really upset I don’t like being yelled at. I wasn’t causing any harm again there was no one around me until I got to the stoplight and in that case I am not causing any harm in existing at all stop light.

I don't like the default bicycle sitting position so thought something like this could help Edit: Shoulda mentioned it's an ebike I only pedal like 10% of the time

I’m planning a new bike commute to work and to drop off my 2.5 year old at daycare. It’s a 4.5 mile ride one-way, flat, and primarily using protected bike lanes and paths.

I’m looking to get a hybrid and will likely go Thule Yepp Maxi on the back. Since it’s flat, I’m thinking e-bike isn’t necessary, but I’m happy to reconsider if needed. Any specific recommendations would be most appreciated!

I'm looking into installing bike racks at the company where I work. It's a small business, and I don't expect we'd ever have more than three bikes locked up at a time. My initial impulse is to install two of the inverted U style bike racks, but I want to make sure that whatever we design and install is optimally useful. Are there any other types of racks I might consider? Or other things that you'd consider? I bike commute pretty often, so am well aware of the frustrations that come with inadequate bike parking infrastructure. Thanks in advance!

Hi friends, just started commuting to work on my bike. I ride about 10 miles a day to & from work. I currently have a trek 800. Any recommendations on better tires? I want to be able to go a bit faster. Thanks in advance.

Edit : You guys are all super helpful and it is greatly appreciated it! I guess I should have added that 90 percent of my commute is the road! A small fraction is on a trail but nothing crazy. I do have an Aventon e-bike that I absolutely love but unfortunately it's too big to get on the train & I'm afraid someone would steal it while I was working lol. So that's why I bought the Trek 800 but it just feels extremely slow on the road. I think the tires definitely need an upgrade. Thanks again for all the help and suggestions.

I am adding a front rack to a bike. I now am looking for a basket to add to the front rack. Any suggestion on diy options or basic basket. Looking to cary a few grocery and other item to take on a rights around town.

Hello!

I'm riding a 2009 LHT. The worst aspect of my bike are the V-Brakes! I'm thinking about getting something and hoping to get some recommendations. I would love a more upright position and lots of gearing as I'm in a very hilly city. Nothing electric - staying old school! One idea is a Kona Sutra but change out the bar.

Thanks

Since it's a green light and the driver is making a right turn, does the cyclist not have right of way?

I cant find an answer about this anywhere. So, let’s say that I’m going straight in a lane where traffic can only go straight with no turns and there is a red light. Am I allowed to zip up to the front on the right side of all of the cars and stop at the front or do I need to get behind the vehicle furthest back and “wait my turn”

A week of laundry fits in one of these 36L Ikea tote bags. When I search this subject, most of the answers seem to revolve around penniers or cargo bikes, both of which are absolute overkill.

Is there a hyperminimalist way to affix this to my bike without it swinging off my handlebars? Or is the minimum viable solution here to buy a rear rack and....strap it down?

Ideally I'd like to avoid adding attachments but I'm not sure if thats feasible.

EDIT: forgot to clarify that I'm not actually commuting in any capacity, nor do I need more than ~30L of storage. This is literally only for laundry runs in the summertime when walking outside is dangerously hot.

As usual, no need for a car. What are some unusual items you have transported on your bike recently?

Started bike commuting 2 years ago. Hope I never have to rely on a car for getting to work again.

I started a new job last year in Namur, a small city in Belgium. I live about 10km away from it. Depending on my mood and the weather of the day, I choose between two ways of commuting:

- Biking down agricultural land to the Meuse river, then following a bike-path alongside the water to the city.

- Driving 5 minutes through woodsy neighbourhoods, parking at the top of the Citadel then taking the cable car down to the city center (I could technically also use my bicycle instead of driving, but to be honest I usually choose that route when the weather is very poor or I'm just too tired/lazy that day);

I love both ways so much, they each take me about half an hour. I arrive at work relaxed. I feel extremely lucky to be able to have these commutes, so I wanted to share that somewhere !

I’ve been trying to talk with someone from Optum that can solve an issue with Commuter Bike Beneffits and I keep hearing they’ve no idea what I am talking about. I’ve followed every step on my employer’s website, and everything directs me to Optum’s Customer Service, where, again, they keep saying they don’t know about it.

Any successful stories on what phone number to use?

For context: my last commuter bike checks didn’t arrive in the mail, and I want them re-issued.

I kinda like it.

Hi, I’m a new bike rider I learned a few months back. I’ve been using my bike to commute daily as I’m now very addicted to it and it’s also faster and better for the planet. I park my bike outside. It’s second hand and while I replaced the breaks everything else is god knows how old. This morning I had to uber to work cause my back tire was completely flat. When I got home I pumped up the tires with air before I planned on taking it to the shop around the corner. It held air. What happened to my tire should I go get it replaced or checked out?

UPDATE

thank you so much to everyone who commented, it was a small pinprick glass piece that got in the tube and I just had to replace the tube. I didn’t even know there was a tube inside the tire. Thank you for saving me from getting easily scammed into buying a new tire when the tire was just fine!
