Daily commute 34 miles come hell or high water... If weather is really crud, I take a 125 trail bike. Fall off, laugh, pick up, dust off, kick over, ride off!

Use the bike as often as possible, unless weather is silly. The clincher for me is being able to use bus lanes in and around Bristol to beat the traffic!
I understand this is not the case in many other parts of the country? I'll have to be careful on my travels. |

Hmm, 3 days using the bike for work and tonight I got my first puncture
![]() Had to limp to a petrol station, blow it up then limp the last half a mile home. Made me realise that I couldn't do without the car.... Now I need a tyre for the car and a tyre for the bike. Expensive week...... |

I've been commuting to work every since I passed my test in March. Had a bit of frost a fortnight ago but it's been fine really. I've kept my car though incase of adverse weather. Still need to get into work despite snow unfortunately.
A puncture three days in isn't good, you can't predict it though. I keep a repair kit in my tail for such an event, not had to use it mind so no idea how good it is. |

As of tomorrow i am back to full time biking, bit of a pain for me though as my commute is only about 3miles its probably quicker in the car. But that is costing me stupid money to run so the car is going and i have just brought my bike back home. Quite looking forward to riding everyday again
