I can honestly say I really miss my bike rides to and from work. People called me mad as, when I worked in leeds, I purposely moved out to Bradford because it meant I had a longer ride there and back
It made me feel so good. Shattered at first but after a while i didnt notice it. MP3 player on and a good cycle - brilliant.
Most people use the issue of the weather as a reason why they wouldnt use a bike. To me though its not an issue. The range of clothing you can get can easily combat the rain effectively. Dare I say, riding in the rain used to be fun! The only true element enemy is the wind which can make cycling much more difficult.
I wish more people used bikes. I realise its not for everyone but it would certainly kerb our ever increasing overweight population problem.
