My commute is precisely 7 metres up the garden path, now I would ride that but I feel the temptation to not wear proper protective gear would be too much, so I spend 10 seconds walking it instead.

Yep, me & my daughter went to school on the bike. Was even spitting with rain this morning and still went!

Sorry to hear that mate!

Did 104 mile commute to work.
Boring motorway and London filtering, but still enjoy it better than the train.

I did. Misreable Soth Yorks turnout though, saw no more bikes than usual, which isn't many

Today I walked from the Hotel to the office.

Quite grateful I wasn't on the bike really, it's 36C here in Belgrade today.
