Sometimes it takes me a very long time to convince myself to try something new, for me to come round to an idea, if I have some anxieties surrounding it. I think I'd been considering commuting to work by bike for over a year; ever since I first moved to Moseley. I live in one suburb of Birmingham, just out from the city centre, and I work in

Thanks for the advice :) I do wish I had a better bike (I miss my old bike!). Maybe if I've stuck to it for a few weeks I'll invest in a better one

You've described what I've been contemplating for a while now (and the anxieties involved), particularly since we moved to the new office. I really should just pluck up the guts and do it like you have! (Very impressed by the way). I do drive and so can often anticipate what idiots are about to do what, even when not indicating etc but it still worries me!

Thanks, I'm hoping my confidence will grow on the roads with a bit more experience. I think my main concern is the bike letting me down but I'll think about investing in a new one if I manage to stick it out til the new year!
