I drove for 20 years. Cycled casually back then. Career changed to become a e-assist cargo bike courier which I've been doing for 8 3/4 years. Just last week I fell in bathroom, fractured my left shin bone. So I've gone from very active to housebound struggling bobbing about on crutches, with family helping me. I never ask anyone to do anything for me so this is a change. Life can flip in a flash!
There's a cyclists cafe 10km from me in the countryside which is my happy place. There's a bunch of goats with pony's and an emu to amuse visitors.
Cycling to & from work. Cycling for work. Cycling for fun, has been my life for years. I've just secured a job doing something I'm passionate about for more money. It's close enough to walk or cycle to all year. A sit down job. So cycling for fun will become my regular exercise. I'm thinking of doing sunrise rides to freshen me up for a day of focus. Expecially as I'll be in artificial light near 9 hours a day 5 days a week.
I've enjoyed reading everyone else's cycling experiences.
My dad has some great stories from cycling around the world in the mid 70's!!
