Cycling - a big change to my lifestyle.

So, I bought a second-hand bike for £100 (a deal!), as shown.


It's a nice bike and I only paid £100 for it, but I plan to get my money's worth, through savings in petrol if nothing else.

I've been riding to work and back nearly every day and in only a month I've easily paid for the bike. So now it's for personal fitness reasons and enjoyment alone. There's something quite satisfying about whizzing past loads of grid-locked cars in rush hour! :)

So, the whole purpose of this is to lose a bit of weight and get fitter. It's slowly beginning to work, so maybe the next time I post something I'll be able to report that my weight is down from 12 stone. Ideally I should be 10 stone so there is some way to go. Plus it's getting cold now, but I'm adamant I'll keep this up.
