my new old thing

This week I’ve properly discovered riding my bike to work.

Yes, riding to work. How long have I been riding bikes? Seems I always drive (because I have to visit a client or something) or I walk, it’s only a mile and a half after all.

If I ride, it takes 10 bloody minutes!!!! The best thing is,  I don’t end up wanting to kill people like I do if I drive.

Down the road, turn right at the tip, along the cycle path through the woods, done. Work. Big sprint home again. Yeh.

Can you still get bicycle clips?

I know halfords have them. But with riding off-road I’d be tempted to wear waterproof trousers over my posh trousers, otherwise they will be mucky!

I’ll wave as I pass today on my way between school!

Great Stuff! Its the shape of the future you know!
Now all you have to do is encourage more of your colleagues ;-)
Skip the bike clips. Go with the calf length MTB shorts and simply swap’em when you get in. You could even leave a couple of pairs of posh trousers at work…
and don’t forget to plot your route on http://www.loveyourbike.org.uk :-)
