Practical comon sense

Well done, Robert! You have become an inspiration to a great many would-be-but-I-don't-quite-yet-dare urban cyclists. I started as a practical cyclist ten years ago. I put on average, 5000 km per year. I live in Barcelona, Catalonia, a city where on a daily basis over 80 thousand take to the streets. Cars, pedestrians and bikers not always get along. We have a long way to go and learn from people like you.

A practical cyclist is someone who rides his bicycle to go somewhere, as opposed to someone who goes somewhere to ride his bike.
