It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

Wow. That could have been very nasty

I guess this is why so many people ride in London

Cycling is so convenient in central, and the real massive win is when I need to visit multiple places in town, on a bike it's so quick to whizz between locations. When I was doing triathlon I also used to run too, it's about 8 miles from Soho to my place, so I'd get the train in which would take about 45 mins, then run home, which would take just over an hour as a zone 2 run. Great use of time.

Working in Edinburgh is the same, you'd be mad not to bike if you're fit. Even coming in from the outlying towns 7-10 miles away, the bike would be the quickest thing door to door.

When I start working out by the airport for a client, I'd run to a train station, get the train across town and then run from station to office at the other end. I'd have to get up a wee bit earlier than if I'd driven, but it meant I got the training done during the day and wasn't stuck in traffic for an hour each way.
