Today is day 7 of my cycling to work ‘experiment’ and I can safely say it’s going rather well. I do have the odd thought about hopping on a tube and I do get extremely tired in the evenings and slob out infront of the telly. However it has its benefits, take today, it was sunny, relatively mild, a day I’d much rather be out doors than stuck on a stinky tube. Some benefits I probably shouldn’t admit to are that I now eat what ever I like without feeling guilty, the odd fried breakfast, a mars bar at lunch, a pizza after work. Maybe a McDonalds thrown in at the weekend, its all good. So my anticipated weight loss isn’t going quite to plan but I feel a lot better.

I noticed that today’s nice weather brought out the ‘occasional’ cyclists who normally tube in but when the weather’s nice they hop on their bike. It was actually a little congested in places with so many bikes on the road. The ‘occasional’ cyclists are the ‘L’ plate drivers of the cycling world, slow and lacking in confidence.

My cycle log is now up at 60miles (in the last 7 days). By tomorrow evening I will have hit the 80mile mark. 20miles a day seems a long way off from cycling 100miles in a day but its a start.
