How it all started


I began cycling to work about two weeks ago. I guess I must have been thinking about it for a while as I bought a bike in the spring. Up until two weeks ago I'd used the bike once - when I cycled home with it. It wasn't really looking like good value for money!

How things change... a few weeks a go we had a stall at Derby Ecofest (See the picture on the left, I'm not in the picture. You can see more of our lovely hi-viz products at www.brightkidz.co.uk ). I don't know if I absorbed all this 'bike it' stuff by osmosis or HRG (for all those Heroes fans) did something to my brain but ever since getting back I've had the desire to cycle in to work.

I started off gently going twice in the first week. And I loved it. This week I'm on target for everyday except Wednesday. I'm already thinking about ditching the car. Should I do it? Would that be a bit impulsive? Should I wait until there's been a few cold days to test my resolve?

PS You can read our Ecofest press release if you want!
