After all this time I've finally done it - the school holidays are properly upon us so lovely wife ran out of objections, and it wasn't pissing down with rain.
This morning I left the car at home and came to work by bike! It's not quite five miles, but it is up and down Crystal Palace (where, I'm ashamed to say, I did dismount and walk) and I've known it take twice as long by car.
I do seem to have trouble pacing myself on hills, but I've managed that one once before. I'll console myself with the fact that I'm rusty and I've lost my legs a bit since that accident the other week.
So, first commute, nothing to report.
