Although, now they don't make me wear smart trousers, I could... as I wear jeans riding my bike anyway and that's what I wear at my desk now.
Think i used to get about 80 miles to £6 on my aprilia RS  could be wrong

Too cold? Are you mad? I'm riding to work still and plan to the entire duration of winter.
I love it.
I've got some Buffalo trousers that are like having a duvet around my legs that are also waterproof, got some decent boots that keep my feet warm, some superb gloves and a waterproof and windproof jacket, I don't get cold or wet.
£7 gets me 200 miles a week I don't have to put up with traffic and I don't have to worry about parking.
There are no disadvantages.

7 miles to work, but I go home each lunchtime. So 28 miles a day on the scooter.

That's no excuse, this'll be the 3rd time my 1.2s been on, last time I found out it wasn't running right which gave me the opportunity to sort it before I melted it. It'd be good to have another to compare against too I've never seen another 1.2 16v on a rolling road, you know you want to

Ben I haven't done it yet as Rach might not be coming and I haven't yet mastered driving two cars at once.
BUT.
