One in a million

walkingbootweather

A million more cyclists riding regularly. Can't say I've noticed too many more in my neck of the woods. They must all be living down in London I reckon.

Not this morning they were not.

They must be about when its dry and light.

Your kidding right

The last 12 months I've seen loads more cyclists out on the road. Sunday mornings there are more bikes than cars.

I think thats a bit harsh actually. On my route I see plenty of cyclists even when the rain is torrential. The gender balance is pretty healthy too, its getting close to 50:50 now.

i've seen a few more people out on the roads over the past few months but the majority of them punks only appear when the old "current bun* " is cracking the flags, any sing of wind or drizzle an they retreat faster than your penis on a winter morning

* i thought i would throw some old fashion cockney rhyming slang for our London brethren

In general there are more; It is however very dependant on the weather and the numbers will definately drop off over the winter.

I have to say: there are more people on self-powered two wheeled vehicles evident on my commutes.

I'm like a flipping nodding dog now.

Yep they're all down here here in Laaandan nodding away on their Allez', having no idea about bike control, etiquette or common sense it seems.

As you can probably tell i'm very grumpy about this. I blame Wiggo

I was all ready to disagree with this but on the ride home on Friday there were loads* of cyclists around.


*a dozen in as many miles. 4 times as many as I normally see. Probably saw almost a thousand cars in the same time.

That is my experience how ever many bikes I see, about london/Surrey they are massively outnumbered by cars.

I do see more bikes though, even on wet days, when it get cold that may change but even so clearly there are more bikes about.
