The irony of it all is that cycling is so much fun and it pays to remember sometimes just how lucky us cycling commuters are - we keep fit, we arrive at work feeling exhilerated and we don't have to experience the horrors of the tube! I've now come out of my "black" period and I'm firmly in the ... pink? Green?

Having arrived home and gotten duly bored, they flew to Australia, and cycled from the east coast to the west. Boredom set in after that journey too, so they cycled to China, where they <a href="http://buchwelt.de/product_info.php/info/p53567_Die-Dschunke.html" rel="muppixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02538635620279302929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795150805374542326.post-91808320959891013962009-11-08T22:11:16.522+00:002009-11-08T22:11:16.522+00:00Thanks Natalie - good to be reminded about the hor...Thanks Natalie - good to be reminded about the horrors of the tube and I agree totally. Thinking about it, it's not really a question of stopping cycling - it's more about getting organised and spending the right amount of time on each part of your life. That's easier said than done, but the benefits of cycling mean it should not be tossed aside lightly. <br /><br />And anon - a pithyKarmaCyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15884964466372798027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795150805374542326.post-27346706148497677602009-11-08T19:23:48.072+00:002009-11-08T19:23:48.072+00:00When a man is tired of cycling he is tired of life...When a man is tired of cycling he is tired of life!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795150805374542326.post-36934068712867277742009-11-07T12:20:17.137+00:002009-11-07T12:20:17.137+00:00Hey KC.

That experience was enough to make me realise that time spent on the bike was no waste! It was horrendous: I was uncomfortably hot; I was surrounded by people lacking in manners; I was being chatted to by a sweet enough but clearly mentally unstable chap who kept Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878795083881920595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795150805374542326.post-2354117247404251572009-11-06T16:06:17.552+00:002009-11-06T16:06:17.552+00:00Thanks Jason - good to hear a sane voice!

I think I was feeling a bit low with a cold, had too much work pressure and quite a bit going on at home (decorators, visiting family from abroad, you know the kind of thing). I'm slowly regaining my mojo with some shorter rides to avoid too much exertion. <br /><br />I think perhaps the trick might be too cut down the rides from, say, 5 two-way KarmaCyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15884964466372798027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795150805374542326.post-34587990980296447292009-11-04T01:17:19.780+00:002009-11-04T01:17:19.780+00:00Chin up, KC... doesn't that daily cycle time c...Chin up, KC... doesn't that daily cycle time contribute to your emotional and physical well-being? Which would mean that it adds value to your non-cycling life, no?<br /><br />I know that if I go more than a couple days without saddle time, I lose focus at work and my wife tells me I'm not much fun to live with -- so at least in my grand equation, the quality of life I get from cycling Jason T.
