Things to avoid

1. Cycling in darkness - there's not much daylight lately so can only really cycle between 9 and 4.30. Theres nothing worse than cycling in the dark if you're not 100% sure where you're going
2. Rain - not really prepared for rain so I really could do without any
3. Spending money - really want to keep this on the cheap
4. Flat tyre - not really a pro at fixing anything so could do without the hassle
5. Falling off the bike with the pedals clipped on - hurts and looks stupid
6. A cold - I already feel one coming on so doesn't look good
7. Getting lost
8. Big towns - spend a lot of time getting through them
9. Scumbags - had a lucky escape last week
was dancing with death on my cycle home last night. wasnt even last
night, was only 6.30pm. cycled through the park by 4 lads and one ran
across towards me and tried to grab me off the bike, luckily he lost
his grip or i could be writing from a hospital bed right now. its only
a matter of time before getting a warning like that, london is too
much of a dump. have to be more careful in the future
10. becoming more carb than man
