I don't ride my bike nearly enough, because as a postgrad student I spend all my time at home working. Furthermore, my departments building is about a mile away, so close in fact that I walk there a lot. As I always have so much to do I also don't get out much socially (sad but true), even though i regularly stay in to work but then end up doing none. I have so far missed nearly all the forum rides and drinks, which I am gutted about.
My bike sits here next to me and I'm constantly eyeing it up and thinking about going out riding. Sometimes I feel like it's the only thing I have to look forward to (on a day-to-day basis) and in a way in helps me concentrate and get things done. It's a carrot on a stick. Does anyone here get what I'm on about? Any other bored-as-fuck students on here? I love what I do, but being stuck at home all day is miserable.
Any sympathy or advice?! HTFU I suppose.
