The powers that be at work have decided that my department isn't important enough to warrant the relocation to our main campus that had previously been promised, so we're now off out into the countryside to take over part of a recently acquired other premises. It should turn my commute from about 2 miles into 5-6 each way. This is no hassle for me and the route is fixie-friendly, so I'll carry on doing what I've been doing with an extra 10-15 minutes tacked onto the end.
The others in the office (car drivers all of them) are whinging a bit though. The question is, do I take this opportunity to offer to help convert some of them into cyclists, advising on kit, shepherding along the roads for a few days etc, or is it more hassle than it's worth? Has anybody else out there done this successfully?
Thanks,
AC
