I want to ride my bicycle
Two summers ago in the midst of a tube strike I discovered Boris bikes. And what a marvelous discovery it was. There is nothing quite as liberating as cycling around London; whizzing past tourists and jammed bus lanes, wind in your hair, joy in your heart. From that day on any trip into town became an excuse for an adventure on two wheels. Fun. And then we moved. There's no bike scheme in Berkshire and no Boris to implement one (small mercies). There are also no tourists or busy bus lanes, but there are royal parks and forests begging to be explored by bike. So I guess that means I'll be BUYING one soon. Yay. Let the bike ogling commence:

Hi Ju,
ReplyDeleteMy advice about bikes - you need to spend around £300 to get a decent one that will last.
I cannot recommend my current bike - a hybrid ladies Ridgeback bike - enough - it's a smooth, fast ride.

Yes! Matt said I should buy I hybrid (I was looking at pretty town bikes with no gears lol). Can I test yours next time I visit?
ReplyDeleteThis summer, Windsor great park, you and me baby!
Yes, you can certainly test it next time you're in Oxford :-)
