I feel energised!
One of the reasons I wanted to cycle to work was to do some sort of regular exercise. I anticipated that if I did it regularly I’d feel a bit healthier and possibly even lose a bit of weight.
Those are all medium-term goals things though, in the short-term I didn’t expect to feel anything other than knackered.
And it’s true, on the first ride in to work I did feel quite knackered.
So, I naturally assumed that as long as I kept it up I’d slowly (and painfully no doubt) move from knackeredness to healthiness.
But what I actually found was that I also felt really energised at work whenever I rode in.
I don’t know if this feeling will go away as I get fitter (I win either way though) but right now it’s proving to be a nice bonus to all the other advantages.
