This week I did a distance of 10 miles Monday, Wednesday & Friday instead of my normal ten minute dash down the road. I donned my bit of cycle clothing brought from Aldi/Lidl. I felt a bit all the gear, no idea. On Monday it was bl**dy cold, I didn't have enough layers on so I kept my water proof jacket on and boiled! Wednesday I learned what it was like to cycle in to the wind. On Thursday on I little jaunt back rail station I http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/have-i-written-my-bike-off.91481/broke my bike! So on Friday I had to use bike #2 which hasn't been used for some 18 months. It's an old hybrid. So on Friday I was expecting my journey to be much slower than if I used my Sirrus. It wasn't! I found having the right cycling specific clothing was more important than having a better bike.
