    This. Idiots who have the opinion that they have a divine right to be on the road and you don’t.

    I think the question reveals

    I think the question reveals a pre-conception that there must be something hard or difficult about cycling. I am fortunate enough to ride daily, just 4 miles commuting. If my commute was longer then I might think twice more often, but as it is, it really has to be appalling bad weather to persuade me to take the car instead (or walk), the bike is quicker and easier to park at work.

    There are certainly things that would make cycling easier. for me that would be showers and changing facilities at work and better cycle parking provision at the shops. But if you think about it, only walking is easier to access as a method of personal transportation than cycling. You just jump on and ride.

    I can appreciate the personal struggle to get up and out on a cold, wet weekend to get in a decent ride. I used to ride alone, but in the last few years have got a lot of motivation to turn out by joining my local club. Although some mornings you do turn up and hope that no-one else does, so that you can sneak back to bed. Even those cold wet rides are enjoyable, especially when they finish.

    Actually being arsed to cycle

    Actually being arsed to cycle. Struggling with motivation at the moment due to school run/work change that’s left me struggling to find time windows to even commute, never mind leisure use.

    Going to have to set my Zwifting space up again as the weather also seems to pulling the rain at 7.a.m trick at the weekends as well.

    Every new bike I buy is the same colour as the previous bike. I figure if I wheel them out of the door fast enough, she’ll never spot the difference. It’s worked like a treat so far.
