My new commute is just under 10 miles one way and I need to be in an office 2 days a week. There's no free car parking at the office and all the other parking is either expensive or out of town. I've cycled for the past couple of weeks and found it quicker than driving. This includes the time it takes for me to take a shower at work. Speaking to my colleagues they can't get their heads round why I'd do this when I have a car.

我上班路程不到10英里,每周需要在办公室呆两天。办公室那边没有免费停车场,其他停车场要么很贵,要么在镇外。过去几周我都是骑自行车,发现这比开车快,还包括洗澡的时间。我和同事们说,他们无法理解我都有车了为什么还要骑自行车。

I'm not a some insulate Britain eco warrior, I'm a tight northerner who feels like I've stumbled on the money and time saving holy grail.

我并不是什么英国环保斗士,我是保守的北方人,我觉得自己偶然发现了省钱省时的方法。

For those that have a short commute that you normally take solo to a regular place of work what puts you off cycling?

对上班路程短,通常一个人去固定地点上班的人来说,是什么让你不骑自行车上班?
