Yes I have got bike computer just need to fit it! In my head I blamed my poor knowledge of gears (clearly it has nothing to do with that whatsoever)...
So glad I have taken the plunge..it beats the central line anyday that's for sure....
fizzy said:Hi,
Recently begun communiting just a couple of times a week from essex to central london - 11 miles...
It takes about an hour - does this sound right?
Everyone seems to fly past me.... I think I have to be the slowest person on the mile end road ever!
PrettyboyTim said:That sounds fine to me. I have a seven mile commute which takes me about 35 minutes (or about 12.5 mph average). You may find that your time improves after a bit but you'll probably find it's limited by the number of traffic lights etc that you have to stop at.
What kind of bike do you have? If you're riding a mountain bike you might get a bit of an instant boost by changing the tyres from wide knobbly ones to some slimmer, slicker ones.
