Hi there,
my girlfriend and i are expecting our first child!!
but we have to move house and we are moving to the next village. As i work in london i use the trains to commute from bedfordhire every day but the move means a two and a half mile trip to the station. I already have two bikes that i use to potter arround on but wil be getting a new one when money and the Mrs allows!My first question is about the weather i would like to know the best way of staying warm on winter mornings as i work shifts and will be cycling at 4AM some weeks 
BRRR.
And my second is about my bike the two i have are in ok condition but as this will be a long term arrangement i would like a good bike that is well suited to my needs. The roads i will be cycling are mostly flat, strait A roads as i said above the journey is 2.5 miles from door to door. One of my bikes is a racer with drop down bars and i feel this would be uncomfortable after time. i dont have much of a budget as my partner has gone into ultra saving mode due the baby. Any help would be appreciated as you can tell i dont really know much about cycling other than tearing arround the local estate as a kid!!
Thanks for reading my thread and look forward to being part of this forum
