Pain is weakness leaving the body

Well, let's just say there's a whole lot of weakness leaving my body right now.

It's ok - I slightly I underestimated what it would take to go from cycling 2.5 hours a week to exercising half an hour twice a day.  

However, I'm pretty glad I was at least doing the 2.5 hours twice a week (including pushing myself pretty hard) because it means I have the capacity to FEEL THE BURN when I need to get across traffic lights.

What I know now about long pants

It is unnecessary to cycle in long pants.

The only reason is if you can't be bothered bringing a change of pants.

There is no feeling cold on a bike.  

Just sweaty, but you only notice when you stop and the sweat starts dripping.. everywhere.

Getting along with other cycling colleagues

After work..
I unlock my bike.

Colleague: <walks out and grabs their bike> "Oh hey."

Me: "YOU MUST RIDE AWAY WITHOUT ME, I AM TOO EMBARRASSED TO RIDE WITH ANYONE AT THE MOMENT."

Colleague: "uh.. ok.."
