its been 1 year since i started commuting, and what a great year.
ive gone from cycling 1 day/week at first, and now easily manage 3 days week.

ive lost a stone in weight, and am now slim and trim (but my thighs are thicker!).

I ditched the hybrid in March and absolutely love my roadie, and hence -have learned how to change a punctured tyre.
I was a bit of a fair weather cyclist at first, nervous about cycling in wet conditions, but have survived the British winter (and summer) and cycled in all but extreme ice conditions

I used to be a gutter-bunny, but now confidently take prime postion as and when needed.
i have realised how competitive I am, and love to race/overtake and scalp other cyclists.

I get excited when i see other cyclists, when on holiday/out shopping/not cycling..just to see their bike, gear, and form.
I have discovered the wonders of baby wipes and porridge.

I have had to provide one new whole drawer, just for my gear, as with each change of season i realised i NEEDED different clothes.
I must have saved money in not paying tram and bus fares, and my eco footprint is surely reduced!

Im so glad i tried it...thanks to my BF for getting me into it!
Cycling Rocks!:thumbsup:

Happy Anniversary, here's to many more happy years for you and the road.

And i've probably hit 3 month anniversary and already got a new drawer of clothes (even with green jerseys that are a bit too small but should fit into them by winter)

Happy Birthday to you! I've recently started commute cycling so thanks for the permission advice to get my own cycling drawer and different cycle gear for each season! Whoop!

I've been cycling for longer than I can remember and I still get excited when I see other cyclists ;)

It's the same way dogs get excited to see each other?
