Transport day 1- bicycle

This weeks theme will be transport. I've been thinking lately about how transport can effect daily activities and vice versa. On Sundays transportation can be limited for me. The Sunday bus schedule means that the buses do not run as early and as frequently. If my husband is on the early shift on a Sunday, which seems like every Sunday lately, his only means of getting to work on time it to take the car. This restricts my transport options and I often chose to avoid the hassle of long waits for buses on Sundays. I have been trying to do a weekend cycle journey, so today I chose to cycle down to Dobbies.

I did a 3.7 mile journey today. The way back was a little tricky as it's all up hill and I was cycling against the wind. I realised halfway that I had full suspension in the front on, once I locked it off I noticed a big difference. So glad my husband convinced me to spend a little bit more to get the bike with this option, I never realised how detrimental front suspension was on hard surfaces, but it's so helpful off road.
