A while ago I bought a bike, but didn't get any lights so I've only been able to cycle at daytime. Yesterday I bought some lights and so invited an old uni mate round for dinner and a ride around. We ended up doing 4.7 miles. Well, I say we - that's how far I rode. He cycled up from his place (Hackney) and then went on to his gf's place afterwards. Even still, it was a rather large accomplishment for me. I'm trying to build up my stamina so I can easily get to the flying school a few miles away. I've decided that I would like to continue flying, having not flown since I lived in Manchester.
Ad this evening, just because I was bored, I decided to go for a short ride. I managed a couple of miles. I can already feel my stamina improving.
I'm heading to Manchester this weekend - I'm pondering taking the bike for travelling to/from the train station but OTOH I'll have a huge rucksack with me. I'm not sure that it'd be wise carrying a large load whilst I'm still gaining confidence, so I may end up just using a combination of trains, buses and taxis.
