Back On Yer Bike, Missus

I finally got my act together and took the bike to work today. I have been putting it off, because it was soooo easy to just get the train, and be able to wear voluminous skirts and not worry about bike helmet flattened hair and other aspects of appearance. Also, it's had a flat tyre. Since it arrived in town more than two months ago. *ahem*

But! That's been fixed now and this morning I was off at 7am (aiming for an 8am workday start) - I had no idea how long it would take, but I knew there'd be loads of traffic lights and very likely loads of fellow bikers as well, which I have to get used to, being more accustomed to lone biking in Dublin. In Europe - or was it the world? - only Amsterdam is busier bikewise than Copenhagen. Nuff said.

Anyway, I went along at a nice leisurely pace. There were fewer people on the paths (possibly because it's holiday season), the weather was nice and cool - loved it! I had forgotten the joy of exercise and the wind in my face and the freedom of being on the bike. No waiting on buses or trains (although, in this country, I don't really mind because it's never for long anyway and there are always alternative routes to go).

So, this will hopefully become a preferred mode of transportation, and there will be days when the train will be better. It's great to have finally made a start though!
