I have noticed that I can fit £17 of fuel in the Zed - bet it wont be long before I can squeeze £20 in there..

I can get 19 litres into one of my older bikes when it's just onto reserve. Ouch!

It costs me a tenner a week for the bike and it takes 25mins each way. If I use the train it's a 20min walk to the station, 20mins on the train then another 20mins walk to work. It costs £4 a day on the train, so oddly enough I use the bike most of the time. It would probably take about 90mins-2hours to get there by bus so no chance

Petrol would have to cost a hell of a lot more for me to use public transport all the time.
