On yer bike!

I'm having an enforced break in London at the moment. This morning for a whole saga of reasons I had to get a bicycle from South Ealing to Marylebone station - meaning that I rode a bike for the first time in nearly forty years!

Going through Ealing was almost pleasant. I went through some parks to Ealing Broadway. I was astonished that they allowed me to take the bike onto a train free of charge! No wonder I'm always tripping over the things as I make my way round the country.

Cycling in central London was not so pleasant. However as I saw the more sinful section of the population drive past in their carbon emitting cars I felt a glow of self righteousness. I haven't quite got the hang of the roads after all these years and I did get a torrent of four letter words from one of my fellow travellers. I shan't record my reply.

My goodness, I can still ride a bike. May do it again sometime.
