Riding in Perth is a dream compared to a lot of other places. Nowhere near as hilly as Brisbane and the cycle paths are mostly a joy to ride on. I tend to try and ride as quick as I can to get the maximum fitness benefit out of it. It's clearly working, as I've dropped about 9kg's in the couple of years I've been doing it. The ride I do on the weekend, whilst not hundreds of km's, is pure pleasure for me. I turn the bike computer off and ride for the sheer fun of it.
