I'm all ready to bike to work. First time on a bike for a long while and it's a 17 mile hilly - ish ride on an A road, for those who missed my thread last week on this subject. The trouble is ... it's 4.45pm. I don't start work until 7pm and I don't normally leave the house until 6.30pm. I haven't had the time to have anything to eat and I've got other stuff I need to do around the house.
When I was cycling to work in an urban environment and the choice was between an hour in the car in rush hour traffic or 20 minutes on the bike, it wasn't really a difficult choice. But faced with taking nearly two hours to get to work on the bike (including changing time) or just over half an hour in the car, plus the same again getting home ... I'm not sure that's realistic.
I think I'd quite enjoy cycling it once I got into the swing of it, but so far every day this week I've got to around this time and realised I'd actually rather have an extra hour and a half at home than spend it battling through the wind and the traffic. Should I just stop moaning and go and do it or have I got a point?
