Just a quick update from me

Been singlespeed curious for a while. Cycled home in one gear only the way home and was less than a minute off my quickest time for the trip. Reckon i'll be exploring singlespeed options now!

I don't even have to get dressed to go to work most days, but yesterday I travelled 10 miles each way for a job. I went by road, came back on track. A wee bit hilly but nothing that had me pushing. Scary traffic.

I didn't think you were allowed to go round nude...

My commute when I did a little trial run would be a 40km round trip with 1200m of climbing, with a 300m climb straight out of the front door. http://app.strava.com/activities/121085103 I'm a nurse and work ridiculous shifts (upto 14 hours long and with only 8 hours between some shifts) combined with the joy of little kids at home, it's asking for trouble.

I think that I need to man up and get on with it as I could make some cracking detours on the way home. Plus I would be as fit as a butchers dog in no time.

Zippy, you conjured that image in your mind.

Envious of people who can cycle commute to work. Obviously not on wet, windy, miserable days though. My job involves a company van that is kept at home overnight, so if I did cycle to work I'd have the slight problem of the van being in the wrong place. Would love to have a job where a cycle commute was possible, but I enjoy the job I have so I put up with not having that option.
