Can&#39;t beat it as a way to start the day, and a huge psychological boost to start the day out in the elements. I do it in all weathes too - it really wakes me up! Well done for going on ice and snow, I avoid ice these days, maybe I should get studded tyres too!

Cycling to work wakes me up. I start my shift at 6 am :). I think you can get used to the wheather, and wearing clothes keeps you warm in winter. Of course, I wish every cyclist only good wheather ;). Have a good day!

Sold the car in late april, cycling to work since. Best may ever weather wise. Someone is trying to tell us something.

Who cargo-biked up a ruddy big hill,

It will be more or less my first day back in the office later this month (Feb 2022) due to COVID restrictions at work. Previously I had parked my car at The Hawthorns, bought a train ticket but cycled in to work instead. I am now told that you must use public transport if parking at The Hawthorns. I don&#39;t mind paying to park but surely you must be able to park and cycle without the threat of being chased for a speculative invoice. Any way, I found that &quot;Just Park&quot; can be used to book a parking space at Asda at Great Bridge. From there I can pick up the Walsall canal and join the Birmingham canal and carry on with my usual route.

I had an urgent package that needed to be in Liverpool that day. I contemplated a courier service and then my inherent reluctance to spend money kicked in. I am a Black Country Mon and we don't par... read more
