I am a big fan of biking to work. Commuting via bike can seem perilous on busy city streets, but new research show that the more people ride bicycles on city streets, the less likely they are to be injured in traffic accidents. It seems that motorist drive more safely in the presence of cyclists and pedestrians as well.

When bigestivediscuit shared that she enjoys her 45-minute commute because it gives her a chance to zone out and have "me" time, it made me wonder how the rest of you feel about the time you spend going to and from work. Do you love it or hate it?

Forty percent of you take the bus or train to work, and almost just as many of you drive to work alone. Hopefully those of you driving leave the email-checking and book reading for another time, but I'm wondering how you usually occupy yourself during your commute, no matter your mode of transit.

Savvy says: Brilliant!
Cityclips ($36) are a working girl's dream come true. We take care in building our work wardrobes and spend a pretty penny in doing so, and cityclips are the answer to saving our perfect-fit pants and hard earned cash.

Commuting is a daily part of life, but thankfully it seems Savvy readers don't spend too much time heading to and fro (32 percent of you say you are on the road for about a half hour).
We keep hearing that commuters' quality of life is going down the pump, so I want to know what your style is. Do you take a plane, train, or automobile to work?

The other day I was headed home on the bus and I noticed a man passing the time with a DS lite. I was shocked at first, mostly because I am so used to seeing everyone zone out with their iPod or iPhone or sending emails on their smartphones.
I know only 31 percent of you have eBooks, which I presume is the most logical (or educational) commute gadget, but I want to know how you waste your to-and-fro time.

In what seems like a counterproductive way of living, workers are funneling more money from their paychecks into their gas tanks so they can get to and from the office.
CareerBuilder asked commuters to identify the ways they have modified their spending habits to afford a full tank of gas, and surveying the answers makes one thing clear: Americans, and especially commuters, have a reduced quality of life because of expensive fuel. It seems dining out is the first thing to go for most of the respondents; below are the ways people are making it work when they have to drive to work.

The merry month of May offers so many wonderful things. Aside from bringing you flowers, May is National Bike Month. I love my bike and I love a chance to be public about this love.

When I asked about the length of your commute last month the majority of you said your commute was about a half hour which I think is totally manageable. But what if your husband had to work several hours away, Monday through Friday? A 2006 U.S. 
Seattle has a new trolley, which is great. Any way we can get commuters and residents to leave their cars at home and take public transit is admirable, especially when the public transit is this cute. The new trolley will connect with light rail, regional buses, and the monorail, with a projected ridership of 330,000 in the first year.
