[I am Spartacus]

A brief interlude and away again....

circumstances being what they are have had cause to use a commuter train... and it crossed my mind when i sat in the carriage that had storage area for prams etc oh yeah bikes....

Are you this person..?

Ride 1 mile to train station.
Dismount.
Purchase ticket
Clamber into train (usually with god awful clunky mtb)
Use train for 99.9% of your journey.
Disembark - dont mind shinning everyone with feckin pedals mate..
Ride 1 mile into work ..
Dismount
Cry to all and sundry in your special space in the office
"One hell of a ride in today, boys..."

repeat for homewards...


Jeez if you are going to commute try and convince yourself that mileage over 20 miles and loads more isnt a death sentence.

Well if they're doing 2 miles cycling and still 99.9% of their journey on the train, I'd cut them a little slack.

I'm not up for a ~2000 mile commute.

An old colleague of mine was this person....despite his denials. A constant stream of train timetables in his mail tray eventually got the message through that he wasn't fooling anyone.

 

[tordis]

Nope. I ride to avoid taking the train

 

[ComedyPilot]

What's a train?

You never heard of Dr Beaching?

 

[Downward]

Public Transport - Shudder.

 

[mr_cellophane]

I do that at the weekend when I have to be in for 7:00. I do always cycle home though.

I used to use the car to travel to work (5 miles each way, taking about 30 mins), then I bought hybrid and take on average 17-18 mins each day.

I get fitter, sleep better in the nights, I also don't have to worry about parking when I get to work as I place my bike in the basement leading to my office and lastly it don't cost me anything in parking or diesel anymore
