Well folks I've taken the plunge since reading your responses to my earlier Blog about cycling and possibly buying a bike. I've got hold of a second hand one and have now travelled in by bike on four days (I live 12 miles from the UEA).
Some of my reading also prompted my decision to start cycling to university. These are some of the snippets. According to The Times (online, 2009) ‘only 1.5 per cent of journeys were made on a bike [in 2008] and more than half of all journeys of less than two miles were made by car’ whilst ‘[j]ust 3% of people in Britain cycle to work’ (Guardian, 2009) with an estimated ‘4 million people...driving less than three miles to work’ (Guardian, 2007).
Now what do I do about the oil fired Aga I've got? It's keeping me awake at night!!
