Hills - bicycles are just as capable of going up hills as cars are
Rain - wear a jacket
dark - get some lights
shopping - think of the money you'll save |

I drive a Vauxhall Corsa. She is green and called Dorothy and I love her.
Fortunately we live really near the centre of Cardiff so most things are walking distance, but she and I do like to go on our little jaunts around the country. |

My boss at my old job (which I quit on Saturday) just turned 60 and every day off he's out for a cycle and run first thing in the morning. I'm almost certain he was the fittest person in the department
So none of us have an excuse
