Oh, the joy of a shiny new bicycle! No longer the tired struggle uphill on an old scrapper, but the easy changing of gears and the pleasant realisation that I have crested the slopes without effort.
I have bought a Ridgeback commuting bike through a cycle to work scheme. For £350 I have got a means of transport that is a pleasure to ride and the cost is spread over 12 monthly repayments.
I had dithered for a long while over getting a foldup bike. But it was pointed out to me that I would rarely need to fold my bike up. I don’t use public transport and a bike for my commute, and on holiday I can ride the bike onto ferries, put it in the guard’s van on trains or put the bike under coaches.
