Cycling of a different kind now... and Verity Smith is just over two weeks away from competing for Great Britain at the ITU World Triathlon Championships, external in Cozumel, Mexico.
The 40-year-old, who only took up the sport three years ago, will be one of 70 athletes lining up for the ladies, 40-44 years age group race.
She told BBC Suffolk: "I'm very excited, although I'm probably 50% nervous and 50% excited. So yeah I can't wait to get out there and try to do my best."
With calls being made for cycle tracks to be in a bright colour to make them more obvious to other road users, we've put a call in to the former head of roads policing in Suffolk to see what he thinks.
Chris Spinks told us it's always an issue with cyclists and pedestrians, who he describes as "vulnerable" groups, sharing the same space at motor vehicles.
He said: "If anything can make it more obvious where cyclists and pedestrians can be, to the motorist, it's got to be a good thing."
He added that cyclists have to play their part too: "If an area is marked as a cycleway they can't assume they have carte blanche to use it as they wish, they must be aware of other road users."
We've been looking at the suggestion that cyclists might be safer using Suffolk's cycle paths if they're a bright colour. The call comes from an Ipswich grandmother who was injured in an cycling accident at the start of August.
These pictures show that in some places the use of "coloured" cycle lanes is already in place. This is the Cycle Superhighway, external in London:

"I've come down to enjoy my football and take a step to go back up," said Lawrence.
"Maybe I did lose a bit of confidence and I wasn't enjoying it as much. I'm happy with the decision I made, I'm loving it."
We couldn't help but wonder how this shopper at Ipswich's newest Aldi store got those televisions into her car... the Scrivener Drive Aldi is the third one to open in the town.
Netty told us the neither of these television were for herself: "One's for my sister, and one is for a friend," she said.

A call to make cycle lanes a bright colour as a way of preventing accidents, has been given a cautious welcome by a campaign group looking to make Ipswich safer for cyclists.
Shaun McDonald, from Cycle Ipswich, external, says: "Having it more obvious that there is a cycle lane there would be a good thing.
"In the Netherlands they won't use paint... they'll use is red tarmac and that way the paint won't wear off. One of the problems of using paint is it can be quite slippery."
An Ipswich grandmother who broke two bones in her back in a crash involving her bike and a car says cycle lanes should be painted a bright colour so everyone can see them.
Jaki Vallance, 62, was injured at the start of August and is still wearing a back brace.
She says: "I think cycle lanes should be painted a bright colour, like blue, so people can see they're there."
What do you think? Do you agree with Jaki?
