and the winner is...
The trouble with arguing with myself is whilst I often win, I almost certainly lose too. Read the rest of Go One Better! »
This morning’s argument was simple, bike or car.
The bike has much to recommend it; I’d arrive at work more alert and energised. I’d have saved on the cost of fuel, both in terms of cash and environmental impact. I’d have been able to smile at the folk at the bus stop without worrying about looking smug. My heart would thank me in the coming years and I’d hopefully reduce the amount of fabric I’d someday be forced to consume.
The car however offers protection from the elements (and potentially from other, less conscientious, road users) and, until recently at least, some entertainment too. I say until recently not because the car radio has malfunctioned, or been stolen, but simply because I’ve lost the will to tune in. The constant cycle of credit crunch assessment rotated with outrage over licence payers’ money squandered on a poor excuse for comedy leaves me cold.
