Today tried out shorts. Its summer. Well spring. Well,ok, its not winter anymore. So it rained and was windy today, the shorts were ok nonetheless. Cycling into work is easier nowadays, but the hill back home is still a mighty beast yet to be properly tamed, still left going at 0mph at the top gasping in bus fumes. Still, went on tube the other day and it felt wrong somehow not be using ben-power to get home, tho its nice to have chance to read. Saw some prats on a tandem this morning. I mean really. What arses. In the middle of a metropolitan area, its just disgusting.
Other than that, driving car is weird after biking. Have strange urge to pretend am on bike and weave improbably through traffic. Am at least curbing my cycle fury and non longer swearing at van drivers.
Cycle camping in Brittany in June. Think cycling will be jsut dandy, but worried camping may be awful. We are used to luxury, camping might not be our thing. Bikes will no doubt be weighed down by infinite croissants and red wine to get through being in campsite with other people. Will they talk to us? I hope not. Perhaps we shall have to pretend to be Welsh speakers or something. Hmm. Have strange urge to ask “how are you?” But you are the internet. You dont have any feelings either way. Well I hope you are ok and your pages are doing what you want. toodle -oo.

Recent bike clean has made my bike up to 90% more efficient. However, London temperatures are now so sub-zero that cycling leads to general freezing of all bodily functions. Having said that I have new shiny uber light that makes me more visible. Buying cyclo-accoutrements is becoming a new hobby. Wonder if I can fit a small gun turret to attack any offensive white van man drivers and other cycle-abusers. Hmm. Next shopping item will be the most fluorescent coat I can find designed to clash nauseatingly with my Titian locks. Then I will wear a lycra body suit and some kind of Heath-Robinson cyclist heating system. Following that I will give up cycling and move on to the next fad.

Bit cold. Me hands are freezin’. London is rather chilly at the mo’. But cycling is fun, though the hills round Crouch End are untamed beasts …
Cycling is fun, and gets you from A to B quickly without having to get the tube at C, and being stuck just outside B for ages for no reason. However there is more faffing at A, fiddling around with bike helmet,locks etc. Drivers mostly careful around you it seems, but have only gone on one long ride so far. Just bought some needlessly expensive bike gloves for the hell of it.
