From SmartCommuterNorth.com:
John O. is a Water Resources Administrator for the City of Thornton. In May of 2016, leading up to Bike to Work Day, Smart Commute interviewed John about his bike commute to work. Read John’s responses below!
Smart Commute: Can you describe your normal commute?
John O: I have a very long commute – 25 miles round trip each day. I actually commute entirely by bike, and it takes about an hour each way. My office is in Thornton, and I live in northwest Denver.
SC: When did you start commuting by bike?
JO: I started bike commuting around April 2008. I wanted to lower my carbon footprint.
SC: What is the best thing about your commute to work?
JO: The best thing about my commute is the time along Clear Creek and Farmers Highline Canal — no vehicle traffic, watching the seasons change over the months, and having a great view of the changing Colorado weather over the Front Range.
Update: For safety reasons (road rage, driver error) I have stopped riding Pecos St during the evening rush hour. I now throw my bike on an RTD express bus, ride downtown to Union Station, and bike home from there through the Northside neiborhoods. Cuts my mileage about 5 miles.
