Its just getting up day after day to go and do it which astounds me. I love riding but I think this would getting your nerves. It would be better if you had a destination, but she hasnt. It takes determination and she is so upbeat about it all.

After seeing her bike, the only thing that would concern me is not having a longer front mudguard with mudflap which I feel might save a lot of grief to the bottom bracket and chain that inevitably take a pounding in winter.
