I know that stop- lots of cyclist collisions there but great path and ride in too it sounds! Was just working on my best route from Sharrow to Kimberworth before all this C19 madness started- hope to have perfected it whilst off so I’ve got a range of routes in my head and can gain your communing benefits. Great stuff!

When I cycle to work I feel more refreshed and ready for the day ahead. Cycling home I can relax and enjoy the exercise — or if it’s been a difficult day I can take it out on the pedals!

I can totally relate! I take my bike for a morning spin and I try to get out after remote work as well. My real to-the-office-commute is not extremely bike friendly or scenic (urban blight, mostly). So my new am/pm rides are better.

I feel so lucky that my bike commute to my pottery studio is on beautiful many San Diego paths including the Spanish Trail and along Liberty Station.
