About 10 months ago i got a decent sporty road bike on the cycle scheme and have diligently used it instead of the bus on my commute 3 or 4 out of 5 days on average which I'm quite pleased with given I was off my bike for nearly a decade before last summer. </p> <p>Any way this summer I've decided to try and use the bike more for what the insurance company would describe as "social, domestic and pleasure" though emphasis on the first two. </p> <p>My intention is try to take the bike where I would usually take the car. I'm going to endeavour to keep a log of my journeys so I can see how i'm doing if any one is interested i'll stick a link the Google spreadsheet when its got some data. As i say its probably second nature to most folk but I like to have targets equally i find it helps focus myself if i let other people know what i'm doing other wise i might cheat. </p>
