Good luck Daydrummer. I think you are most definitely stronger than a wreck.

I did a few bits of grocery shopping on the bike this morning. I know it's not a big deal, but I get such a kick out of being able to shop, get fit, and drive less all at the same time. There is a new bike/pedestrian crossing planned for an unpleasant junction which will riding rather than driving still more attractive.
