Am I sad?

[Twizit]

Only into my second week of cycle commuting proper...

... supposed to be building up into it as fitness / cycling stamina allows.

Cycled in and home on Monday.
Tuesday cycled in, train home.
Weds train in, cycled home

Today.... on the motorbike so no cycle (the legs do need a rest) but am already thinking about the cycle in tomorrow


Maybe I should just get on and do some work instead.....

LOL, it's fun, isn't it? I always end up hating having to take another way to work.

So it starts... just a matter of time until you're planning a longer route to work. Keep it up.

The fact that it's bright sunshine and about 16 degrees outside does help....

And then the additional bikes, it's a slippery slope

On the days I wake up with my legs feeling a bit tired I just get on the bike and take it a little easier for a few kilometres then eventually the tired feeling is a distant memory. The thought of not using the bike doesn't even enter my head these days.

Hmmmm yeah got to be careful on that one. I'm already on "red watch" having changed my motorbike five times in five years, and I already have the road and MTB....


That said I've already managed to negotiate a new "cycle shed" on the basis that our kids are getting bigger, and five bikes just don't fit into the main shed anymore. Am sure I can find some new bike space in there somewhere.....

Don't even start thinking about that Garmin GPS for that Sunday morning cycle.

If you're here, you're sad

Inside my mind:

-bikes
-cars
-work
-wife
-child
-hows yer father.

That's it.

 

[Twizit]

Sounds about right

Wait until you have done 3 or 4 weeks of commuting only by bike. Then try the train/car/motorbike. That will show you 'sad'

 

[Twizit]

Ha - felt weird enough being on the motorbike yesterday - and that was only after having not used it for three days....



...I might feel different when it's raining and a howling gale though....

In that order? I feel sorry for her based on where she is on your list.

...yes, I knew I was getting hooked when one fine summer day, having spare time too (unusually for me) I took a 'detour' on my commute home, and the 17 mile trip turned into a 43 mile one...
