  • I thought everyone in London rode like this:

    lol i think i have seen this in action..... it wass along my commute when working at bank and they aint joking about the speed... they went whizzing past down the middle in moving traffic.

    Very nice bike control just a bit toooo dangerous and silly, wrong side of the road across cross roads. the stuff at TCR to Marble Arch is just insane, its usually crawling pace or half speed with hands ready to brake, people appear from EVERYWHERE lol

    I thought that is exactly what a London commute is like.

    Whereas my rural jaunt is set to Satie's Gnossiennes No1, I am flanked by fair maidens spreading petals before my tyres, there is barely room on the handlebars for lights; what with all the Bluebirds perched on em.

    I find Eniaudi more appealing: Divenere, Rose or even Le Onde while cycling under the blossom, alongside the tulips and ducking to avoid the cheeping Robins.....
