About

The Commute promotes safe, sustainable, bicycle commuting. This is done through coaching, commuting workshops, organized rides, and advocacy for cycling and awareness. In addition, The Commute helps businesses promote their brand with effective marketing solutions.

Starting and ending each work day on a bicycle improves mental, physical, and emotional health. Not to mention, traffic is reduced. No one likes traffic!

The Commute was created by Darcy Phillips, a year-round bicycle commuter since 2008. He has biked-to-work in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, New York, and Washington DC. Planning is essential for bicycle commuting, especially longer rides. Motivation, one-way trips, public transportation, and the right gear all play a role.

Engage with The Commute on social media or by filling out the contact form. Check back for work and volunteer opportunities in the spring of 2026. We look forward to seeing you on your bike! Cycle more, drive less!
