Serene cycling, more variety and new lanes: my Bike Blog hopes for 2017

A late list of new year resolutions include a return to mountain biking and a position in the commuting slow lane

New year resolutions are, of course, traditionally made before 1 January, not nearly a week into 2017. But I shall disregard convention - below are my cycling-related hopes for the current year.

Some are personal, some more general. I should also stress that these aren't my sole hopes for humanity, just some specific Bike Blog-based ones. New bike lanes would be great, but I'm more keen overall on peace for all and a continued avoidance of a nuclear holocaust.
