Hello all
Until a few months ago I cycled to work (about 9 miles each way, mostly rural roads), and sometimes
posted here. Then I lost my job: bad news. I've managed to get another job: good news - but it is 29
miles each way. Can't really see myself cycling this on a regular basis, espeacially given the
nature of the roads.
Four years of cycling have taught me one thing: I hate sitting in traffic queues! Not only that,
but if I use the car everyday, then my wife can't (she usually cycles to work, but occasionally
needs the car).
So I'm thinking that a motorcycle might be the answer. I've looked at some of the motorcycle
newsgroups and they seem a bit scary; I know next to nothing about motorbikes.
Anyone here got experience of these things, or better still going from a cyclist to a biker, and
could give me some hints?
Thanks
Toby
PS. The obvious, long-term solution is to get a job within cycling distance. But that may take time.
