A lovely morning for cycling, with bright autumn sunshine, a bit of mist, and lots of mellow fruitfulness.  Ann had to go to Easton and wasn’t sure of the best route, so I cycled with her, which made a refreshing change from my normal route to work.

I was struck by the number of other cyclists on the road, and as we headed away from the centre on the cycle path, our progress against the flow of city-bound commuters was pretty tricky at times.  I’ve been cycling to work for around 10 years now, and would be interested to know the statistics about growth in bike use during that decade – it must have more than doubled, and looks set to double again pretty quickly.
