I’m training for an olympic distance triathlon in June, so running, cycling and swimming are all necessary. Daily commute cycling, while not exactly endurance, helps keep up the general fitness and keeps the legs in shape.
Distance rides and runs at the weekends, shorter swims, cycling and running during the week.
I will be in a small rented apartment or flat share and thus getting a bike rack or indoor exercise bike isn’t really an option, hence the need for a locker.
Having been to HK a few times on work trips, I do appreciate that HK has narrower, tighter streets with more erratic drivers (not to mention the buses that drive at insane speeds), but I am used to riding defensively in the middle of the road and holding my position when required here in London. I generally don’t cut between the traffic in London either unless I know the roads, and feel safe about doing so, because I’ve seen too many close encounters and people knocked down before. I’m not a total noob, basically is what I’m saying but of course, I’ve never cycled in HK either :/
I do not intend on riding on the main roads, preferring back streets where possible, to keep the chance of meeting erratic drivers to a minimum.
