Cycle to work

Well I did it, I have my fancy new bright red folding bike and I popped on my new helmet, my workies high visability jacket and off I went. Off to a great start and even managed to negociate haymarket to arrive at the office in 25 mins! Not to shabby – but I was a bit more sweaty than anticipated so had a shower went to put my socks on and forgot them. I thought to myself, “better socks than pants” but no sooner had the thought entered my head I realised I had no shirt. Since I was sporting a sweaty oversized t-shirt of Stephen’s I had to go out and buy a new one. It ended up taking me 1 hr 10 mins to get to my desk…but I loved the cycle and even saw to bunnies on the way home!

I got my new fantasic shiny new folding bike today…flys like a dream, a firey red colour – I love it. So tomorrow if its not chucking it like today I will give it a good go.

Used my old chank of a bike to find out the best route to work. Left after girls went down and so was quite late and was spitting. Eventually found how to get on the cycle path and had a good run at it then it started to rain , then it was lashing down. Oh forgot..I was doing this with a semi flat tyre so the bike had a comical squeak. Turned back and came home like a drowned rat and never really found the best route. Will do some scouting on the other bike hopefully with a bit more success. Not detered though will just have to get back on the bike :- )
