Hi.
As my cycling enthusiasm is growing day by day I'm now starting to think of commuting to work on my bike. Work is around 15 miles from home and feel I could comfortably to it, but it's the busy road that puts me off. Most of the ride to work and back ,will be on a busy fast A road which has long straight flat stretches. As a driver myself, I've seen some crazy motorists who have travelled along it over the years. I would be setting off from home at around 5.30 am and hopefully arrive around 6.30..
Would I be insane to even attempt it ,or is it more of a psychological concern..
I would really like to be able to commute into work though. It would save a few ££s on fuel and help me gain more fitness but its the dam busy road that's putting me off.
