Moved to a job within 8 miles of home, occasionally cycled on a MTB however the effort up the hill involved put me off from doing it everyday or when it was raining (boil in the bag impression likely) or the wind was blowing. If I wanted to go to a shop/post office at lunch time I also drove that day.
Due to rush hour traffic levels it takes a similar amount of time to cycle as drive.
Wanted to achieve regular exercise.
Eventually save some money with the price of fuel going up (not able to use Cycle To work so will need to pay for the bike before I see the savings)
Cycled to work every day for the past 2 months (including recent downpours) and even get the chance to go out at lunchtime.
