Though to be fair I&#8217;m only driving to the station at present.  This however is where a problem lies for me.  Acocks Green station seems to have these strange little bike stores that no one knows about.  Well, the people in the station don&#8217;t know about it.  It might be Centro, then again it might not.<\/p>\n<p>The award for the shittest cycling provision goes to Olton station.  This has a locked cycling area.  Who has the key?  Apparently the person in the ticket office.  This is fine when someone is there, but often when I&#8217;ve used the various stations in the region it&#8217;s closed.  So if you come home and want your bike when the ticket office is closed then tough.  Although I was told you could phone to see if there is anyone in.  Pretty pointless if you ask me.<\/p>\n<p>Final solution might be to cycle to work, biggest problem is it&#8217;s in the Jewellery Quarter which is bleedin miles away.  This would add probably an extra hour or so on to the journey home.  Still it&#8217;s worth considering as we have shower facilities at the office.  For the moment as Rachel is at nursery I&#8217;d still need the car at the station for 2 days of the week.  But 3\/5 days would save me a fair amount I reckon.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kebablog.co.uk\/blogpics\/marin.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Time to dust off the old beast?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well it seems a sensible solution to the ever increasing shite petrol prices.
