I wouldnt take a bike to an interview unless it was a bike related job.

Some people are small minded and hate bikes etc, also you would inevitably not turn up as smart as you would in a car.

TBH for an interview I'd look at taking the train, or even getting a domestic flight rather than all that boring motorway stuff

Train.....gives you time to relax, opposed to getting completely lost in some one way system or road workds diversion!


Good luck, btw!

I wouldnt take any bike.

Except, a honda pan euro leave in good time, get there early enough and request a place to change and freshen up. A change of clothes will make you feel refreshed and nice, all ready for that interview

Definately any sort of public transport. Train tickets aren't to bad if you search around and buy as far in advance as possible.

I went on my bike to my interview to the job I'm in now (obviously got the job).
Turned up a few minutes early, and got changed there.
However, that's only 10 miles down the road from where I live.
For that distance, I'd take the train I reckon...

I'd take the bike. I f###ing hate trains and public transport, and the public in general really.
