About Me

My photo
Whether it's five miles or five hundred miles, riding a bicycle is more fun than anyone ever told me! My New Year's Resolution to cycle 10 miles a day or 40 minutes on a spin bike has meant that by the end of May I have cycled 2,600 miles! Because of my cycling wardrobe the weather has not stopped me from cycling (unless it really is -5 degrees or with wind gusts of 25 mph). Cycling in style and in comfort is really important to me as I don't really want to be covered in logos looking like a Ninja as I buy groceries or attend meetings. I have found some things that work for me but am always looking for new pieces. For me, Evans Cycles and Cycle Surgery for the basics. My two favourite brands for my wardrobe are www.velorution.com and www.velovixen.com but I am always looking for new pieces. I would love to know what works for you and why. Happy cycling!

Mice Log Sunshine Sunshine Sunshine Date 113



@30daysofbiking Day 23. 18.10 miles, 8.9mph average speed, 17.8 mph max!  Sunny cloudless skies, parks packed with peeps, 17 degrees warm and then some really abysmal driving.  

One private minicab was so close to me I thought he was trying to give me a lift.  Absolutely shocking.  
 
And I don't think I have seen quite so many cyclists jumping red lights.  What is that about?  Why oh Why?  Is it that they don't drive so they don't know the highway code or is it that it doesn't apply to them?  It is such a dangerous thing to do.  Red light jumping by cyclists is matched by drivers using their mobiles.  Both really selfish things to do.  

Apart from that - it was a lovely day for a pootle about London. The Brooks saddle is still comfortable and I now have some polish for it!  


As for the weather let's hope it's not the only sunny day of the year....!
