8 years, crikey it's flown by, most people thought I would not last 8 days!

51000 miles, twice around the world and I have moaned about the weather almost everyday! I suppose I am a veteran at this commuting !

Take it easy folks!
It gets easier, don't fret.

It is permissible to moan about headwinds but never about rain.

Whenever I get to work soaked through and someone says "It's really wet out there" I always say "I suppose... a bit..." as if it barely deserves a mention.

Then go and have a hot shower.

Good stuff. Been commuting most of my life by bike, but the broken spine incident was enough. Manchester isn't nice commuting on a bike.

I miss it, loads,but my body is fubared.

Well done:okay:
I committed to the bike in September 2015 for a number of reasons, and it's automatic now. The van still gets used on icy days, or rare occasions when it's dangerously windy like last night.

8 years since what? What did you get and how long did it take you to recover well enough to ride again?

Blimey! Well done.:notworthy::highfive::bravo::notworthy: I've been cycling for 8 1/2 years and am still only 3/4 of my way round the world. Mind you, I don't commute ... that's just short of 18,000 miles in total from about 85 leisure rides per year. But still .... Blimey.
