| I am now using my bike to commute the short distance (about 8 miles each way) to work. I was just thinking this morning, as I scooted past the queues of traffice and nodded at the bikers going the other way, it is soooo much better to start the day with a bike ride than a frustrating car journey. Yes, the tyres are cold, the road is wet and slippery with leaves etc but, the sun was shining this morning, the leaves are turning to their autumn colours and I love the slight nip in the air on these early mornings. And I was relishing the prospect of the next 6 or 8 weeks of Autumn to be experienced on the motorbike. You just miss all that it you're in the car or any other form of transport. A quick blast on the bike at the end of the day is the best possible segway between work and home, and I've now started spraying chain lube on the bit of chain that's showing when I put the bike in the garage at night. Takes 30 seconds and hopefully will save me needing a new chain by the end of the winter.    |
