Hi!

Hi all, newbie here. Started to commute again now winter's (hopefully) over. I cycle the busway in Cambs most days, I'm the puffing guy in the red top.

We got a leaflet on the one they plan from Leigh to Ellenbrook using the old rail line/trail near my house.Not big but it gets you off the road in comfort for a short blat !

I'm guessing you mean the bus itself? It's smooth and quick and generally runs on time as traffic doesn't really affect it, but the best bit is the super smooth cycle path that runs alongside it. There was a pig of a headwind yesterday all the way home (16 miles) the Beeb said 20mph, it was like a spinning session riding in it!

Super smooth cycleway appeals to me....pity the roads we use aswell are not so smooth

Yep, it's a joy, the roads in Cambridge aren't great either though so it's not all plain sailing.

Hi Stan - welcome. My son is a Uni in Cambridge, I'll tell him to keep an eye out for you!!

I hope he's not one of those naughty students who ride without lights!
