Yeah... I cycled to work last summer but it was in the city, along a main road, so not so uplifting. And the summer before that the bike ride was even worse - I went past a lake, which wasn't so bad, but then onto the dual carriageway and into the industrial estate, which was just a bit nasty. Melbourn's a lovely village, though. The main thing that makes the commute bearable is how nice the place I work is. It makes me miss living in the country. But since I don't drive I know that if I did I'd find it boring and inconvenient and wish I could go out more easily :)
