Why I Like Cycling

Recently I've been doing a fair bit of cycling. There are many reasons for this...firstly, I wanted to get a bit of aerobic work in and found that cycling is something I liked doing, which is a big plus in terms of actually ever doing it! Also, it is a good and easy way to get about if I don't need to carry too much stuff.

I've had some really enjoyable cycles recently by just sticking on an ipod with some nice heavy music and hitting the streets for a nice fast ride! Believe it or not, there are some very good cycle paths that make it quite easy to get about in London, but even when there aren't I love the freedom of the bike.

So many things that annoy me when driving are irrelevant when cycling...traffic jam? No problem - weave in and out and get there before the cars! One way street? For cars maybe, I'm off! Traffic light on red and nothing coming? Seeya! (Of course I'm joking, I always stick to the highway code, officer!)

Hopefully this has inspired you to dust off the old bike and get riding. Now go and hit the streets!
