I cycled in today.... wore my boil in the bag pro-viz type jacket as i leave just before sunrise.... and wasn't boiled in it. So definitely turning colder now.

I cycled today! Not far & not fast but first proper cycle since primary school. Bit nervy but happy to survive without falling off. Hands were a bit sore as think had bit of a death grip on the handle bars! I was a wee bit warm. Hard to judge layering. |

A friend sent me a link to a bike in my size, which I sent to another friend because she’s more knowledgeable. She said no but then sent me this link: chainreactioncycles.com It’s not as pretty as the one that fell through but it will soon be mine ![]() |

Most probably. Currently got an Islabikes Luath 26. Mostly works but am looking at upgrading in the next year or two. New cycle to work scheme just launched so will check that out.

I’ve been lucky to be able to bump up my savings during lockdown Maz. I can’t afford to get the VW Caddy I’ve been planning to buy (Bloody student accommodation) so the bike is my consolation.
