It can be quite difficult to be a cyclist in England, and other parts of Britain. There are not nearly enough facilities e.g. cycle lanes, bike racks, space on trains, and many motorists dislike cyclists, thinking that they get in the way. On more than one occasion, when I've taken my bike on the train, somebody has asked me why I need to be on the train and why I'm not cycling the entire journey. Well, sometimes it's just not possible if your journey is very long or you have time constraints. Unfortunately, we're seriously lagging behind compared with other countries, when it comes to being cycle-friendly. Also, England has many hilly areas, in particular Yorkshire where I live. You've got to be really keen to want to cycle there!
