Its official: bikes are faster than trains.
Sometimes, at least.
Last week, faced with a 55 minute wait for a 15 minute train ride to carry me the 10.1 leafy miles between Coventry to Warwick, the challenge was set.
You would too, right?
If you've spent 2 years waiting for trains in Coventry - yes, you would.
So it was best wheel forward on my trusty Brompton, needing to make only 8 mph to beat the unfortunately timed train...
Riding through the fresh, leafy autumnal countryside,
I couldnt wipe the child-like grin off my face. it felt so good to be flying through the countryside after a few weeks in the city.
As hoped, the ride got me there earlier, warmer and considerably happier than the train. job done
