Cycling to work starts tomorrow
OK *pant* This cycling to work *pant* malarchy *pant* is going to be *heave* a lot harder than I thought.
First up, I bought this bike: http://www.decathlon.co.uk/elops-3-ii-id_8166113.html
It’s a five gear city bike, with a back bit for panniers, and it has a nice comfortable up-right riding position. The bike, plus everything else that I need (helmet, locks, etc) came to the price of two month’s worth of travel cards. I’m really looking forward to riding this to work tomorrow, but there is one slight problem. I live at the top of a hill. I’m not very fit. Looks like I have a lot to work on.
I did try a little trip to the Muswell hill Sainsbury’s this morning, which has a lot of up and down, and I did struggle a little bit on the way back. I guess Archway Road is going to be a challenge for me at the end of the working day, but I shall prevail.
I’m going to start with a couple of days cycling to work a week and take it from there. I hope it goes well
