Don't leave your waterbot on the bike if you pop into a shop in St Georges mall,likely to have a bergie take a sip while you are away.

I hope you told him to keep it.

Took me the same time to ride to work than it did to drive there and I was way more relaxed

My first commute to work. Lekker easy ride.

Adre, that doesn't last Soon you'll end up going further, faster, longer than yesterday It's worse if you're on Strava!

So far have commuted by bike the whole of 2013 (ha ha). Learnt something again this morning - NEVER trust the weather in Cape Town. Left home in the sunshine and within 15 minutes got soaked by a rainshower that came out of nowhere.

The best for me is actually looking forward to the trip in and trip home.

 

my route is 20km 1 way, so it adds up to 40km per day.

 

All that and not worrying about being stuck in traffics.

 

A bell does wonders, but some pedestrians are too stupid to realize where the sound is coming from, and when that happens I slow down to a crawl until they notice.

Humph! Now I work from home.

"if your office network blocks, it says : work to ride; ride to work!"

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

[pietas]

Time to start then ...

[Caerus]

Already have, it was cold yesterday. Had meetings this arvo, but back on the bike tomorrow.

My rear wheel rebuild was paid for in commuting savings in 3.5 weeks

[Bateleur1]

Although I knew it, I was reminded of the fact yesterday again .... the more traffic on the road (not still standing traffic) the harder I ride. Left for work earlier yesterday and rode in traffic. I ended up motor pacing more than usual. Legs are a bit buggered today.
