I am once again full of the joys of spring, with optimism oozing from my very core. What has brought about this mammoth, monumental change of attitude? I BIKED TO WORK TODAY! I am fed up with feeling unfit, and pining for good weather to cycle in, and spending longer sitting at traffic lights than I spend driving, and at 1.27am this morning exactly (I know because I checked the clock on the bedside table) the answer appeared in my head, crystal clear and complete. BIKE TO WORK TODAY! So I left the car in the drive, got the Velociped from the garage, and rode to work. It took me 21 minutes. TWENTY-ONE MINUTES!! My legs hurt a bit when I got there, and I nearly got knocked off by careless car drivers twice, but it felt great!
So now I’m thinking I can bike every day, save ourselves the petrol costs, we can sell one of our cars, I can get fit enough to do a sponsored cross-Britain cycle ride, and by 2022 I’ll be training for the Olympics.
Don’t I get carried away sometimes?
