Bicycle Update

[graafen]

So I got myself a new bike a few weeks ago, as part of the Cycle2Work scheme.











Rather spiffy if I don't say so myself. It's a Pashley Sovereign Roadster, almost entirely hand-built, and it's a joy to ride. :D

You bike to Wakefield and back every day?!

[graafen]

No. I'm nowhere near that fit. xD

When I do cycle it's either side of getting the train. Still a good few miles each day. :)

I was going to quote Chris Morris's character in "The IT Crowd"

"Both here, and here are as RED as a fire engine!"

Nice one. :) And given what avon_deer said above, I'm curious, how far would it be from you to your workplace if you were to bike the entire distance?

[graafen]

It's about nine to ten miles, which I wouldn't have a problem with if it wasn't for the rather hilly terrain between my home and work. There's no flat route except for the motorway.

Ah, OK. Yeah, if it's very hilly, that can make quite a difference, and you wouldn't want to show up at work overly sweaty and exhausted, either. (Unless your workplace has a shower room you could use to freshen up and change into different clothes, perhaps.)
