Giving up motorised transport in favour of biking it everywhere

[All uphill]

I have the rail card, but unfortunately I can't afford first class!

Do you know about Seatfrog?

You can bid for upgrades to first class. Our son uses it a lot. Sometimes he gets an upgrade from Manchester to Taunton for as little as £12.

Thanks, that sounds interesting... I will take a look at it later!

only miss it very occasionally mostly not being able to get to some Plant Nurseries.

You mean plants from a nursery?
Many times I have bought the usual sets of 6/12 in a tray, I've put them in my panniers no problem.
Bigger plants too.
I carry a small plastic bad in my panniers to protect them from water leakage, in case I want to impulse buy plants
