Happy World Bike Day 2020!

Wednesday was World Bicycle Day and I happened to be in the office that day so of course I rode my bike there and back (with a little help by getting the train some of the way).

My commute home was the fastest ever on the bike.  At 5.42pm, I looked at train times and saw there was one at 5.49pm so I quickly made my way to the exit and cycled about a minute to the station. From there I had about a 2 min wait for the train which then took me to Lansdowne Station where I cycled home from and got in the door just a little after 6.10pm.  Pretty much door to door it was 30 mins - not bad for Dun Laoghaire to Ranelagh!

 
Here's the tweet I sent on the way to work - I can't tell you how much I love that cup of coffee while waiting for the train, particularly on Wednesday as the weather had changed dramatically and it was very cold in comparison to the amazingly sunny day previous.
