First cycle back from work of 2017!

Since I cycled to work, I of course had to cycle back home again… last year, I always left my bike at work, then got a lift back the next day. So always cycled home in daylight! So it’s the first, time I’ve cycled back from work at night, in 2 years! Lucky since, I last did it! I’ve got a much better front light again!

First cycle to work of 2017!

That’s me just done the first cycle to work of 2017! Normally don’t even think about doing it, till May or June time! But my car got a flat tire on the way to work on Friday. So using the spire tire right now, which means. I can only go a MAX speed of 50 mph. Try driving down the A1 at that speed and see how many BEEP at you!

Hoping to get it fixed Monday or Tuesday this week! But at least, it give me a good reason to cycle to work! The first of many times this year, I am sure!
