Re: 3 weeks to go
Hi all,
I'm going to be moving to Dubai in 3 weeks time from the slightly waterlogged UK.
Never been, no idea where i will be living, how I will get around or pretty much anything other than I start work on the 28th Sept and nearly everything is provided for. Hopefully find out more before I land.
Would I see out my first week in Dubai if I cycling to work everyday? Would I succumb to the sun, the traffic or the authorities first?

Re: 3 weeks to go
when you dont know where he will be living or working?
There are some places that are ok to cycle. Its not too dangerous. Granted its not exactly the safest, but where is.
Mate, get a bike and cycle to work. Apart from if you live in Sharjah and work in Jebel Ali.
Even Chris Hoy wouldnt attempt that one

Re: 3 weeks to go
I'm dying to get a bike but I could ride it around the streets but they only go so far, maybe up to uptowmn mirdif but anywhere where there are roads its almost suicidal.

As for cycling, i get up at around 5ish on a fri morning and have a long ride. Sets me up for the rest of the day.
As soon as they fix the road here at work, i am going to cycle in to work. Those that have been to Mussaffa industrial est in AD will confirm that i am mad, but hey ho, fortune favours the brave, who dares wins etc etc
You'll read about me in the obiturues in 7 days.....

Re: 3 weeks to go
Thanks for the responses. Guess it depends where I'm going to be located as to whether I ride and how I meet my maker.
I have already had to find a new home for 2 of my 4 bikes. Its going to be bad enough leaving my Land Rover in the UK let alone bikes as well!
Live in Summertown Oxford at the moment but looking forward to leaving Oxford, 10 years is plenty long enough to stay in one place.
Pub Quiz sounds good not that I'm any good mind.
