I'm curious whether there are any others riding to work?
I'm a bit of a late comer to the whole cycling to work thing not having riden a bike since my mid teens, but last December I bought a bike and started riding it to work. At first I thought I'd do it a couple of times a week but I soon found I was riding every day come rain, hail or shine. I never ever looked forward to my train commute, but every morning I still look forward to my ride to work.
It's only just over 20kms round trip so not exactly very far, but even in a few months I lost a stone and my fitness improved.
The biggest challenge was logistics, but I've mostly figured it out now and have only forgotten my shirt once and my underwear a couple of times, LOL. So if anyone is contemplating doing it, I'd say go for it, you won't look back!
Any other keen commuter cyclists here?
