Cycle Commuting: Day One (Part One)
Cycle Commuting: Day One (Part One)
Oh crap, what have I gotten myself into? Day One was not so fun, it wasn't any faster than catching the bus and I walked my bike up one of the steep parts in Neutral Bay. Actually it's not even over yet, because I'm at work and still have to get home! It's a combination of not having a huge amount of riding fitness (even though I have decent cardio fitness), a bit of stress due to it being the first time I've ridden in the city, and pushing it a bit hard during the first "easier" part and not leaving myself enough for the hills.
My new toy.
I'll see how I go on the way home, I'll take it a bit easier for sure (especially since the first part is all downhill to the water at Neutral Bay, but then there's a big hill up to Milsons Point). I think at this stage, until I get a bit fitter, I'll stick to every second day to ride in too.
