How much does it cost to Oldham?
Cancellara's packing it in so you might as well....
By cycling to work, I save £2500 a year on a rail season ticket. That's the cost of a business class return to San Francisco, with change left for the cable car.
I've been cycling to work for about 8 years now - so a very crude calculation completely unadjusted for inflation or anything, means I've so far saved approximately £20'000.
That, I find, is all the motivation I need!
Do what you can, the hardest part is actually getting out of bed when its dark cold and wet. I was cycling in all weathers up to this year but now, I take the car occasionally. Don`t beat yourself up about it, why feel guilty ? Take a break and get back on it, rest is good !Last year I commuted until Christmas and then hardly at all until March. How do you keep motivated to do a commute in the middle of the winter? I hope that I wont quit this year but I'm not sure. I think part of my problem is that my commute is entirely optional. Ideas?
I work from home - I wish I had a morning commute
Why can't you just go out and do a loop?

Yes. Buy the right gear. A 46 x 15 is ideal.PS - I also find that buying the right gear helps - knowing I'll be comfortable on the bike - but also thinking that now I've gone & bought it I had jolly well better use it.
It's nice not to have to do battle with the fair weather knobbers, who think everybody wants a flipping race the entire time, for one.Why do you want to cycle in winter?
