What will happen after 50 miles?

My legs will fall off…

Oh, redways is a nice concept. Maybe I have to move there :) So, one day to go, 10miles short. What will happen after 50 miles? Goodluck, Barry.

Eric, the redways keep me far enough from most of the traffic, so it's just about bearable :) PS. 40 miles now! One day to go, I hope I can face it in the morning...

Apart from all the exhaust fumes from the cars, I said when you have the chance to bike, go for it. I cannot biking around in my hometown here because I have to “compete” with all the crazy car drivers :) I might died from exhaust fumes or hit by a car, either way is not fun. Is it common for people in UK to go to your office by bicycle? I wish I could do the same here.

Jim, not sure about wanting to go further, although 2.2 miles would probably seem like a doddle now ;-)

Mike, agreed on cycling in London – I’d have to get one of those little facemasks that would make me look like a member of Altern-8 – and I look ridiculous enough on a bicycle as it is.

Having said that, exhaust fumes are far worse than cigarettes, as someone in the pub explained to me the other day: you sit in your car with a hosepipe from the exhaust poked through the window, and I’ll sit in another car smoking – we’ll see who croaks first…
