Cycling to work!

Used my new Dahon folding bike for the second time, will post pictures soon.

Cycled to the station in Cambridge and then from the station to the office. In the evening did the same. Getting up at the same miserable hour as normal (5.30) I actually got to the office a good 45 minutes earlier (I caught the 6.15 instead of the 7.15 train!!!!) It doesnt take an hour longer for me to walk to the station, but usually I arrive about five minutes before the 6.45 and am so depressed at the prospect of actually getting on board that I stand outside gently sobbing until the 7.15 comes.

In the evening leaving my desk at 5.30 (which is a little early for me) I comfortably made the 6.15 train. I'm going to experiment tomorrow leaving at 5.45 and see if I can still hit the station on time.

Anyway feel so much better than normal. Loads of energy both in the morning and the evening, really happy and quite alert. Normally I get home and ignore my wife for 2 hours then fall asleep so this is a big plus!

On the downside was terribly sweaty all day (tomorrow will change into shirt at the office) and nearly got hit by a car at Picadilly circus. I think with time both of these aspects should be mitigated.

Lets see if I'm still cycling and or blogging this time next week.
