Is the cost of fuel impacting on my bike fun?
Yes - because the species of car driver who believes that pootling along dual carriageways at 49 MPH will save fuel, thereby forcing lines of 44 tonners to overtake and effectively rolling road block for miles, is doing my foccin' swede.
And no - because apart from the above, it hasn't slowed me down at all.
And with effect from yesterday, for the first time in 35 years, I am without a car. So all the money it was costing me each month to keep the cage standing outside my house, not being used, will now be diverted into the bikes.
