Tap Into the Commuter Community
A wonderful emerging resource for cycle commuters in the Louisville area is the transportation bike mailing list, an online email discussion group designed specifically for people who use their bicycle as their primary means of transportation.  Check out their website to subscribe to the mailing list and join the discussion!

A great way to find other bike commuters in the Louisville area is to visit the Louisville Bicycle Club website and either post a note in their forum, or scroll to the bottom of their site to join the KyCycList online mailing list where you can post questions and learn from other area commuters. 

Gear Up!
Of course, having the right equipment is key. Many local bike shops have cycling gear designed for commuting or they can order what you need.  Many employees of bike shops commute to work and can be a good resource for questions and sharing tips.
