After moving near to Leicester and working in Kettering I figured ou
that there had to be a better way than taking the carto the station.
desperately wanted to cycle to the station but couldn't work out how t
do it with clothing etc and bike etc. So having "bit the bullet"
decided that I was going to go for it, I have "invested" in a very chea
tourer type bike. I went into City Bikesin Melton Road Leicester an
although I was right at the bottom of the market Dave was quite prepare
to make sure that I got the right bike for my budget (and delivered i
to home at no extra cost) I was impressed

The bike is a "sit up and beg" type but I figured that it would be les
atttractive to nick. (which, touch wood, has been the case until now) I
also gives a great view of traffic. However, the cycle lanes o
Leicester are anything but - but I am imoresssed generally with m
route. I find the 4x4 and bus drivers the worst

Anyway I have done the trip about 10 times and I am still trying to ge
the layering right (does anyone have any ideas about the righ
combination of base layers and fleeces etc at the moment?

I am really enjoying it - even if it does increase the journey by abou
a third. I am hooked. There's no turning back now. I'm hooke
