I’ve recently switched from driving to work to taking the train in order to save a few pennies. With current fuel prices (117p/Ltr) and it costing £60 a week to fill up my car’s tank, and the train only costing £52 a week, there is clearly a saving of £8. Anyway, that’s what this post is about.

I’ve taken up cycling to the station (see picture above) and frankly, I’m f**ked! I know it’s only been a week and it will take me a little while to get used to it, but so far it’s been pretty relaxing. I’ve not been suck in traffic, people driving too close, too slow, speeding, road rage, etc. I’ve been able to sit back and listen to my iPod and play a few games on my laptop.

I intend in keeping this up because it does two things, it saves me money and helps me get my 30 minutes of exercise every day, so hopefully I’ll loose a few lb’s too!
