We're always saying that we should start eating more healthily, but the biggest problem from my point of view is actually choosing foods to replace the unhealthy stuff with.

It started as an effort to get the kids to school quicker - letting them take their scooters and bikes in the morning. Then last week, we gave the shed a clear out, dusted off the adult bikes, reinflated the tyres and headed back out on the road again.
Cycling is such a low-impact form of exercise. For me, after I've been running for a while, my leg starts to hurt terribly from the thudding about. Cycling avoids that.
