Jen was getting the bus to work but realised at peak times it would be quicker on a bike. So she decided to give it a go. It was a slow start but she was proud of her progress, particularly making it up a steep hill without stopping. She promised herself she would cycle at least three days a week, but soon managed four.
Jen loved that she no longer had to wait for the bus. She was saving money and could leave work when she was ready. And when she didn’t have time for a workout after work, her active commute had it covered.
