How to plan for cycling to work?

The easiest way to put cycling to work is to jump straight on your cycle without being prepared. Yes, its correct. Its like the thing we usually do for exercise; I’ll start from 1st, or will do from Monday or seeking a company, we shall do it. All such plans never turns into reality. Just…
