Really good journey in today.
The missus works a couple of days a week and today is one them. She sets of before me whilst I take our youngest to nursery.
She makes pretty much the same journey only I set off 20 minutes later, its about 6 miles, a dry crisp morning, a bit windy but otherwise fine.
As soon as I get off the cyclepath there is standing traffic thats about 5 miles from the town centre (yes, this is little old Ipswich). So my Journey in is entirely passing stationary traffic, which does make you feel quite smug.
I even stopped half way to chat to mrs starseven who was on her fourth lambert and butler, moyles on the radio,stuck in the traffic and begining to look stressed.
Even with a couple more pauses to chat with drivers the journey took less than 20 minutes, as it always does.
In a car it would be hour or more or less or who knows.
I cant afford to waste that much time, really if you have absolutely got to get somewhere on time, you better get a bike.
