After Over 25 Years....
Snakebite the 2nd

After over 25 years of cycling to work I am hanging up my shorts.
Change in circumstances (divorce) means I am now renting about 25 miles away from work.
I will endeavour to make the odd trip by bike, but practicality means I am unable to cycle all the time (seeing the kids etc).
I shall miss it, but I won't miss the increased traffic and the people trying to kill me.
It's a mixed bag of emotions I can tell you.

Funny thing wives ..... they get in your way of cycling when you are with them ..... then you get divorced, and somehow they still manage to get in the way of your cycling !
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.
Hope things work out well for you.

I'll keep riding for fun, in fact I'm moving to the coast so it'll be a whole new world to explore and the paths along the seafront are traffic free.
It might even turn out for the better!
(Oh and don't worry about the divorce, it's completely amicable and we are both better off so it's not at all bad!)
25 miles? Buy a motorbike. I did. Just as much fun. You can go faster and further. It's just another indulgence. As I tell my OH, at least it's not a bloody Porsche!

Hope it works out ok.
