My New Ride

Decided to start riding to work as they are offering a cycle scheme where you don't pay tax, get a discount and pay it interest free over 18 months

My mate Tom is also getting one

So today I borrowed Tom's Specialized Sirrus (Hybrid)

Image

And rode to work

Here's the figures

Journey to work this morning

Image

Image

Journey back from work this afternoon

Was pretty happy with how I did considering I've never ridden on the road before and am not very fit


Here is the bikes Tom and I have ordered

Mine is a Felt F85 2011

And Tom's is a GT GTR Series 3 2011

Good on you for riding, i used to do 10 miles a day each way to work. Keeps you fit.7

I remember getting up to do a paperround on my bike, then riding to school, coming home and going back out on my bike again!

I used to do trials riding, would love to get back into it, but cars seem to have taken over :(
