Cycling to work the killer first day!

It has been a long time since I tried to cycle to the office, well so long when I was sorting out my bike on the weekend rust leaked out. But none the less checked inner tubes for punctures(none) pumped up the tires cycled round the block and I was ready for today(brave). I realise that it was probably a better idea to go get a bike check up, but didn’t fancy that. Well the day went quite well, got in without issue, only small catch was trying to miss the rain on way home, I failed. I would strongly recommend people take up cycling to work especially if you live in area with terrible bus service like that in Guildford!
