My season ticket on the trains due to expire soon & they are wanging the price up again for 2017. I’m thinking I might try cutting costs by staying with relatives part of the week & cycling into Aberdeen from theirs.
3 route options.
1. Along the A90 dual carriage way. Fastest for sure but not sure I fancy it.
2. Take my fat bike & cycle in along the beach all the way in. Fun I’m sure except if the north seas playing up & I imagine the slowest due to the conditions.
3. 5 miles of B roads then onto the Buchan line, former railway. This is my favourite option. Not as fast as option 1 but I reckon safer.
So the question is what type of bike should I be looking at? Cycle cross? Hybrid bike ? Or a Full blown roadie? I guess there’s also the option of a 29er fat but not fat wheel for my Wazoo though id rather keep it for off road.
Sorry to babble on. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
