Things I've learnt from commuting

Yesterday I drove to work for the 3rd time this year. I hated every moment of it. Back on the bike this morning again and I am a rather happy person again :)

... is that it will take me five months of commuting to pay for the kit I bought to commute in :w00t:

 

My set up costs to commute amounted to about R13000. Payback period 2.5 months

 

Bike, lights, shoes, clothes, locks,carrier rack , bag

 

Worth every cent.

That I am super competitive. If I see another cyclist\commuter on my route I will chase you down for no apparent reason, especially those twats who decide to not stop at red lights!!

Perfect i would split off at the Walton/Whisken intersection - which days do you ride

 

"Normally" Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, depending on how tired I am, meetings, other appointments etc.

I realised how easily one can get passed a stalled truck across both lanes of koeberg interchange by bicycle...

I would have sat for 30min in the car had I not commuted...

 

What a great start to the week.

I had a couple of those and am often reminded how awesome it is to commute by bike.

 

The only thing that gets me at the moment is the freezing cold of getting on the bike at 6 in the morning. Still always happy to have cycled

Mondays and Fridays are car days so I missed the 1st cold day of this winter.

Winter has definitely arrived...the fresh blasts of cold air woke me up pretty quickly today! All the more reason to pedal harder, just to warm up!
