I'm sure many of us used to strap a rod to the crossbar years ago, sling a bag over our shoulder, and cycle to our favourite fishery. I did myself, 7 or 8 miles each way was as far as I'd go.
Now I'm in Poland, no car or motorbike, I've regressed some 35 years and once again taken to the saddle. It's 15 miles each way to the big lake (and another 40 if I want to cycle round it. I'd have shuddered at the thought of this a few years ago but the reality is; I quite enjoy it. OK it takes an hour each way, but I wouldn't baulk at that length of time to a fishery at home, in the car. I guess it's another challenge, as I'm not the fittest person in the world, but I'm getting closer!
Anyone else still do this?
