Sometimes we have no choice and have too. So get on the bike get cold and wet, borderline hypothermic, then when you get to your destination have a good moan about it to your work mates. That's after getting a hot drink inside of you. Don't have too many before leaving or you may piss yourself when the cold hits your bladder :lol:

I'm a grumpy c*nt if I haven't been out on the bike for a while so it's like the snickers advert for me. I get reminded by others that I should get out on the bike to make their lives better!

I like to sit and look at the bike for half an hour,pick which job I fancy doing and get on. Time flys and jobs soon become enjoyable.
