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!
