First of all you need the guts to change and to resist the human nature to be lazy. You must consider to make the effort. You must break with the daily routine of being stuck in the traffic jam. It seems crazy and yet it's not that simple...
Secondly you need to be fit. Shape and change are tightly linked: the fitter you are, the smaller will be the effort to get the bike out of the garage and to face the war on the road. On the other hand, once you made the click and you got on the bike your state of fitness improves quickly.
And finally of course, you also need the right knowledge...No knowledge means no pleasure. The nice routes are those where cars and motorized transportation are forbidden. You have to know them. Clothing and material (shoes, bike, helmet…) play another important role in the success of your personal daily expedition to the office and back home. Safety rules, seen from the biker’s perspective, are often not known...
Coaching is no luxury in the transformation process from “homo automobilis” towards a Green Mover...
Physical condition and knowledge result finally in change.
Once you are used to bike to work, it's hard to go exceptionally by car.
