hello! I’m new here
I was furloughed from March until June. And I decided to pull my bike out of the shed when I was returning to work, as I wanted to avoid an further expense of cars and public transport if possible. I think I hadn’t used it for 3 years? I live at the coast but work in a town centre (Newcastle UK). So you expect the normal things:-
- traffic in a 10 mile journey
- parking in town is £14 per day
- i could park further away for free and walk
I road my bike solid for a week, loved it then I got rid of my car, there was an MOT extension scheme for 6 months in the uk so it really made sense to do so without additional cost.
now it’s getting dark I’m a bit weary of it but I’m still pumped to be out cycling and in all honesty I get to and from quicker than if I took a car or public transport.
grateful to be park of such a cool community!
