If I lived up here permanently again, I probably wouldn't mind cycling. My issue is the cars, people round here just can't drive, especially round the Metrocentre. I mean, I could ride along the quayside, but then I'd have to tackle the bank up to Gateshead, and that ain't gonna happen!
Maybe if they put bike racks on the Quaylink services I'd think about it, but until then I'll continue to be a lazy sod and just use the bus!
