7. Trip Enjoyment Rating
I have claimed 99% as an estimate for 2014. Obviously this is just an estimate rather than a calculation as I haven't counted and rated each individual trip. However, in thinking over my 2014 trips, I can't think of any trips where I would have enjoyed using a car or public transport more than cycling.
Because I have ready access to reasonably comfortable and efficient public transport for most common trips (e.g. my work commute would be a straightforward tram ride and take only 5-10min longer), another good measure of my cycling trip enjoyment is how many times I chose to use public transport instead. In 2014, there were zero instances where I opted to use public transport rather than ride.
It is interesting to note that I used to switch to public transport from cycling due to wet weather conditions more readily in the past but now that I have a rain jacket, use a rain radar app and feel confident riding in the wet, I almost never switch. I have also learnt to deal with hot and windy weather and, over time, have found it more comfortable and enjoyable to cycle in a broad range of weather conditions.
