Mixed Mode Commute

Just zis Guy said:

Aha! Early in the New Year (date not yet finalised) I will be starting a new job at Milton near
Abingdon, mixed-mode commute (bike to Reading Station, train to Didcot Parkway, bike to Milton).

Who knows, I might even persuade SWMBO to let me buy that Brommie :-)

A bent Brommie of course as you couldn't possibly show your face here otherwise after all you've
said about upwrongs ;-)

You may be OK to leave a bike at Didcot and a bike at Reading.

Alternatively take up the challenge of a long commute on the bike ;-) It must only be about 15-20
miles each way.

There was a conversion kit to produce just such a Brompton.

That's my plan for going home :-)

It is 20 miles by the most direct route, but at least one of the roads is full of Safe Drivers doing
their Safe Driving thing (and with the demolished hedges to prove it).

Dangerous hedges as well.

They just leapt out in front of me, without looking. I couldn't do anything to stop:-)

That would be the "13 Bends of Death" - the single reason (13 single reasons?) I don't cycle from
Wallingford to Reading. Mind you, on reflection, it's only drivers I've heard of being killed on
that bit, so maybe I should.....

They'll be too busy looking at their speedos to keep their eyes on the road, then ;-)

Quite ;-) And the conversion kit to make a Brommie to a bent results in a visually not nice looking
machine at all, I'm afraid.

My route is via Goring and the A417.
