So, took me ages to get any license of any type (okok, had car learners for years, but never did anything with it :innocent:), when I got my bike license, I noticed this, and noticed it again now I've got bike back...

Before (and without) bike:
Trip to get w/ever from shop around corner: about 15min.

After (and with, duh) bike:
Trip to get w/ever from shop around corner: anywhere from 30min-2hrs usually.

Guess I just get easily distracted, or lost, or something ;)

Anyone else do this?

Yeah im the same - I have had the least ever amount of sickies since having a bike, makes the going to work well worthwhile as i get to ride there and back.
Rain or shine its a great feeling.
