Not much experience but only on my second week, using the Trek. Decided to lose weight hence cycle to work 40 miles return. So far i have not used the car once, i still need it with a 1 year and 8 year old to ferry about. But so far i have given in 4 times and took the train in or out on late working days. But surprisingly it is becoming the norm
never thought it would be so easy to get into the routine. But it is tough when its howling down and you pass the car.
My advice is BE ORGANISED, the easiest way to spoil things is running late, you will curse not having the car. I get everything ready the night before, so that things are easy in the morning, leave plenty of time to spare, do not add pressure as you just cannot make the time up on a bike.
