When I am on bike and I see middle aged business men in 4x4s serving all across the road while on the phone, it makes me furious. On a bike, I cannot see why anyone would not be concentrating 100% on their driving.

When driving to work, I all too easily become the very thing that I ctiticise when on a bike. Why do i use the phone - admittedly blue tooth? Because driving a car on a commute day in day out is sooooooo boring - however flash the car. In fact, not remembering the journey is a blessing.

This is why I am increasingly using a bike to get to work. It is never boring, I am always fresh when i arrive, and although workmates say, Oooh! isn't it dangerous, i say "yes, but when i am so cocooned from danger that i run over someone and don't notice. then I say, some danger is good"

here endeth the lesson........................
