Anyone else cycle to work and love it ?. I cycle a 8 mile round trip to work every day and love it. It's good exercise cost's nothing . It also doesnt matter what time i leave work i never get stuck in traffic it always takes me 20 mins to get home. I admit it is rubbish when it rains but i just get the bus and have a rest from cycling.

dude i agree, i started cycling to work when i got a bike 3 weeks ago and its ace. I live 8 miles from work so it takes me about 35 mins and a 16 mile round trip but i love it.
what i hated most of all about living in a city like London was having to rely on the over crowded public transport. which cost a fortune for an hour of hell a day.
cycling is the way forward, more people should do it!
they should improve the cycle lanes for us though! :)

I cycle to Uni and hate it =( There's quite a bit of up hill and I'm quite unfit and can't do it! So I push the bike up the hills (which I suppose is still exercise!). I can ride on the flat bits easily enough though =D And I can roll downhill just fine!
It's about 3.5 - 4.5 miles each way (depending on which campus I'm at) and it takes me just over an hour! (I've been getting slower and slower for some reason... it used to take 40-50 minutes!).
But it's cheaper than getting the bus, and I feel that I am doing my bit for the environment =) I notice the smell of vehicle fumes so much now!

I cycle to college three times a week, which is six miles from my apartment. So that's 36 cycling miles every week. (Three classes per week, to and from) I absolutely love it. I cycle everywhere I can. It keeps me fit and saves money. I don't understand why more people don't do it. But yeah, I always take the car when it rains. And I have to drive to work as it's about 12 miles from my house. heh.

Yes it is rubbish when it rains.
I bike everywhere when I can & I take my dog for a walk and run.
I work from home and so I try and get out on my bike when I can.
My kids want to bike to school and we are taking steps to prepare a 6 mile bike ride. There only 9 & 7 and they want to look after the environment.

I ride to work around 3 times a week and notice I feel better on those days. Riding a bike is a plus in many ways.

I used to enjoy it then one day I was hit over the head by a young lad when I was out of breath and going up hill. I realised how vulnerable I was and some of the fun went out of it. Then a few weeks later I found myself between a tractor (HGV) and it trailer after it had overtaken me and was turning left. I'm not into suicide

i exploit to pop stackers whilst they nevertheless made them with ephedrine. i exploit to take everywhere from 3 to 5 an afternoon. i replaced into 18 on the time. I did this for some year. i eventually end taking the crap, no longer via fact it did something to me, yet i replaced into bored with it. when I end taking it, i gained some weight. i replaced into an somewhat energetic man or woman anyhow although. It took my physique a on an identical time as to alter. in case you do not have the time to dedicate to exercising like loopy once you intend on no longer taking those anymore, then the possibility of you getting fat is somewhat in all probability. Taking them for something of your life isn't an somewhat sturdy theory. they have an somewhat unfavourable impact on the human heart. they would not reason a heart attack in a youthful particularly healthful man or woman. yet that doesn't recommend that the chemical does not stay present day in the human physique years later the place it consequences you in a protracted time down the line. i'm uncertain why you will opt for to take them in the 1st place. no count if that's for power then i'd recommend a descent evening's sleep and a pot of espresso particularly. no count if that's to drop extra pounds i'd recommend a healthful weight loss plan that doesn't contain using chemical components as a crutch... and a sturdy exersice routiene. the main to dropping weight isn't taking those sort of pills the media is attempting to shove down our throats. the main to dropping weight comes from self controll. I do desire that on your very own well being and protection sake and the durability of your life you do no longer shop taking that crap. sturdy success.
