One convert!

Roastie · June 2007

Nothing to do with cycling week, but I managed to convince a guy at work to commute on his bike rather than get a car. He is a total convert, stopped at my desk and recalled all the details of his commute in detail.

Like music to my ears!

do you think that eventually, between us, we may convert enuf people that drivers have a forum to moan about us?

Buggi - that day might be closer than you think. This morning I counted 12 bikes waiting at one set of traffic lights on the King's Road. We were a right mixed bunch as well! Cars had no choice other than to stick behind the "peloton". Nothing like safety in numbers...

I've converted a guy at work! Also leant my Focus to a friend to do the L2B with and he loved it so much he's gone and ordered one for himself and is already talking about wheel, saddle and tyre upgrades.[:D]

I almost converted a few people in my office but then they found out that it was illegal to be pissed in charge of a bicycle and change their minds.

I've converted one who subsequently converted another. Told them to leave it there so the queue for the shower does not get bigger.

Last year I was the only cyclist out of 25 people in the office, we're now upto 5, most of which I feel is down to me telling anyone who will listen how great cycling to work is

It is illegal to ride drunk - but they can't take your licence and they would need to prove that you were unable to ride safely. So the mg limit might not stand if you were, say, going down a country lane to your local and back. I've regularly used two wheels to get to the pub and never a problem (unless you acted drunk - why would the police be interested, they've far more important thing to worry about than a cyclist who's had a pint more than he should have). A decent ride after a few pints is also quite sobering...

Roastie · June 2007

Hack, what makes you think he'd be an RLJ?

Buggi · June 2007

Hack, how's the blood pressure hun? don't let 'em get to ya. there dangling the RLJ carrot...

I got 1 in my office - I've lent my old MTB to someone who'd been saying he 'might get a bike' for ages - he's been riding in daily for a month now and loves it.

Sadly I haven't had any effect on the car count - one less bus pasenger though!

Unknown · June 2007

I reckon I've converted quite a few, its keeping them on the bikes that is as difficult. I usually consider it my duty to look as cool as a bald bloke possibly can, to lead the way and encourage others.[8D]
