Its a really strange thing to say, but not riding to and from work is starting to take its toll on my body, especially my left ankle which was fractured in four places in March of 2011. You would have thought that being crunched up on a sportsbike would cause the body to rebel, but for me, on journeys that are less than two hours, my bike is always more comfortable. On big trips away that require long motorway slogs, I tend to take the car simply as it's just easier, but if I can, the bike keys are the ones I pick up.
I'm not sure what causes my ankle so much trouble. Is it the stiff clutch in my car, or could it be the shoes I wear? What I do know, is that it takes about ten days of driving into and out of central London that really aggravates the achilles tendon in my left ankle, but I never get problems when riding, no matter what kind of riding I'm doing.
Having thought about it for a while and following the theft of one bike, I've ordered a Bike Trac tracking device. I never want to feel that sense of hopelessness again; that feeling that my bike has gone and I didn't have a clue where it was. A tracker should give me that feeling of security that I've after. Hopefully
