I have covered about 800 miles since September!

I used to cycle to work on a very cheap, very heavy, 10 year old mountain bike that I bought as a poor student at university. When I saw the Cyclescheme I saw a chance to upgrade to a better bike and start cycling to work more regularly. Now 6 months after starting the scheme I cycle on average 4 times a week and have covered about 800 miles since September! Not only am I fitter but I feel that I am doing my bit for the environment. I am fully behind the scheme and hope others have similar success stories.
