I've asked myself "is it worth paying 40 quid a week to not be abused, driven at, or treated like an insect by drivers on my daily commute", and the answer so far has been "yep, that's worth 40 quid a week".
Woaahh
Reality check time..
Trains >>>>>>>>>>
£40 a week? RUMAD? That's a Izumi ST chain every week.
We can't just leave that there like that, if you get the train from now on that means we've lost :(
I'm going to presume that you're a really good cyclist, it's your route that sucks, like big time, like a whole bag of dicks.
I've got a ton of roads/routes I can choose from to do my daily A to B, a lot of them are warzones. I've adapted and micro managed my route over time to the point that it's super fast while being nearly completely hassle free. Yeah it means I've got a bit lost a few evenings trying to map my way around but it's paid off.
All of the shit you're putting up with is distorting your view of the road so don't kid yourself, trains are long, try and sort your routes out and don't ever forgot that cycling is RAD.
Same. I wish I could get over this but I'm at a point now where I've asked myself "is it worth paying 40 quid a week to not be abused, driven at, or treated like an insect by drivers on my daily commute", and the answer so far has been "yep, that's worth 40 quid a week".
Cunts in cars have ruined everything for me, incrementally, over a long period of time.
