I try to smile and be curtious as I can but some times I get a bit annoyed. I cylce 40 mile a day, Bedworth to Warwick via Coventry and Kenilworth. But too early in the morning for low life and never had much bother coming home in the evening. Other than, people walking out in front of me, they just do not see cyclists, mind they are on the phones texting etc. Never had much bother from other traffic. |
| My Latest Route: Jul 2012 Bedworth to Startford Via Fosse Way and Return Via Kenilworth | |

Its easier going in to work as its mainly downhill but going home its usualy after midnight and the last 8 miles is all uphill, with the last 3 miles being pretty steep. I'm using a hybrid bike at the moment but don't think its up to the punishment so am looking for a proper road bike |

Don't worry about it. I love cycling and am finding I am part of an ever growing number. It makes me feel fit and I can cope with sleepless nights from the kids / work. Keep going. |
