The Top Ten of 2012 Part 2

The conclusion of my top ten of the year 2012. Without further ado, I'll continue the countdown at number 5.

5: Becoming a cyclist
As part of a Twitter competition organised by Transport for London during London 2012, I was fortunate to win a £300 bicycle voucher. Being a full-time runner, I knew nothing about bicycles so I had a bit of trouble finding out what was right for me. Eventually I settled for an entry-level type of bike, a 24-speed hybrid, versatile for both road and off-road cycling. It's served me very well so far, with no problems whatsoever. This is also a great way for me to cross-train, when I need a break from all that running. 
My new ride.
