Well after months of procrastination this week I started cycle commuting. Only a short week due to BH and having tomorrow leave. Managed 5 11 mile trips over the last three days at an average speed of 12.06 Mph. I learned:
Short week (two days) next week due to leave and then hopefully I will be steady four days a week
- I need to work on my traffic skills and get out of car driver mode
- I need to learn to inflate presta valves without snapping the tops off (hence only 5 trips not 6 - had to be rescued by Mrs Dilbert)
- On road cycle paths are just a way of marking where all the rubbish is
- If you walk through the office in cycling shorts you get the p!$$ taken
