Re: My Commute (and hopefully yours)

Right... so the Sheffield mtb commutes didn't happen as work dried out. Got myself a card for the lockers across the city for Nottingham parking. But after realising that the places of work there that I had booked in for, were just taking the wee... Booking your weeks/days in advance then cancelling at last minute coa they managed to get cover from elsewhere.
Anyway, so I'd conceded to just mtb duties and keeping the bike with me rather than going on it to work. But today I managed a commute to takeaway as my mate needed a hand for deliveries, so I volunteered even though it's one of the last jobs I'd want (past history of take-aways, a taxi office and more takeaways in between proper work at B&Q and First...
Took the bike and mounted the Quadlock hoping I'd get chance to do some deliveries by bike. That would have been cool but was overruled (probably rightly so). Took the road bike which I'd been contemplating selling (due to the commute-less issue as well as having gotten wheels for another road bike and one can't have 2 x road bikes can they) but on the ride back home I remembered why it was my dream bike. Smiles from ear to ear Alhamdulillah (all praise God), ao it might as well stay with me a little longer... Oh, it's steel and frame built by a bike cooperative. Got it second hand obviously.
