My commuter bike should be arriving in a week or two. I have never really been a commuter, as most riding has been to the trail head rather than into work. So what would you suggest are the essentials that everyone should have for commuting to work...
I will be riding 35 km each way from Tokorozawa to Gotanda on a Canyon Grand Canyon AL 8 MTB with slicks. Probably will only do one way per day to start until I get some fitness.
Main concerns are clothing, lighting, packing, and "freshening up" when I get to the office.
Imagine I will need a multi-tool, pump and patch kit, fenders, seasonal riding gear, lights, a good backpack, a comfy pair of shoes, and a few extra clothes. Some water bottles, and a mount for my iPhone/GPS until I get used to the route. Also will grab some insurance
Anything else you guys can think of or have experience with?
