Welcome, to the new Axiom website.

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Let’s face it riding a bicycle is a wonderful thing. Think back to the thrill of your parents letting go of your seat for the first time, the freedom you experienced riding with your friends, or the amazing ride you had just the other day where you were having so much fun you couldn’t help but smile. Riding is many things to many people but it’s something that brings us all together; something we all have in common. For 2009 we wanted the Axiom website to be more than just a website. We wanted to bring you tools and resources to make your experiences with Axiom, and your rides even better -the same thing we strive for with our products.

This site is where you will find product information, manuals, FAQ’s, tips, tricks and more to do with Axiom gear and riding your bicycle. Like many things in life some of the content is a work in progress. Take manuals, for example, we are working on completing manuals to help people install our products. And this blog you are reading right now. They are in their infancy, but from little things big things can grow. Make sure you come back often to keep up to date with everything Axiom and to get the latest tips and guides to make your rides that much better.

Bicycle Commuting Guide: Commuting 101

BIKE TO WORK. BIKE TO SCHOOL. BIKE EVERYWHERE!

You know it’s time to start bicycle commuting when:

  1. The price of gas makes you cringe every time you fill up your car
  2. You want to reduce your carbon footprint, because every bit counts.
  3. You can’t stand watching old lady’s with walkers pass you as you sit in gridlock traffic
  4. You made a New Year’s resolution to get into shape but lack the time for a traditional workout.
  5. Saving money puts a smile on your face.
  6. You’re ready for an enjoyable and stress free commute to work.
  7. You believe that your actions can make the world a better place.
  8. Paying for gas and repairs and insurance and wear and tear and… you get the picture but it bums you out.
  9. You’ve had to take out a line of credit to keep your car running.
  10. All of the above.

If you’ve answered yes or heck yes to any or all of the above questions, it’s time to throw your leg over a bike and start commuting to work! If you haven’t answered “yes” why not start bicycle commuting anyways and then re-do the survey (you’ll probably answer “yes” to at least some of the above).

Either way, read on to find out just how easy it is to start bicycle commuting. (PDF Link)
