Another Day Out In London

I had another (nice) day off work yesterday and headed into London.  It wasn’t a warm day but it was nice for November and at least it wasn’t raining.

Decided to visit the London Eye for the first time and the weather was good enough to give us a nice view of the city.  We were lucky as later in the afternoon the rain started and reminded us it was Autumn and England.

One biking-related thing to note, I saw a tour group from Fat Tyre Bike Tours – a nice idea and a great way to see the city.

Saturday Shopping

On a Saturday morning, the bike is far superior to the car.

Needing to wash some clothes, I realised I was out of the required ‘fluids’ so needed to head to the shops.  The sun is out today so I had no hesitation in breaking out the Dahon.

The roads around Rochester Bridge always get gridlocked at busy periods due to poor traffic planning around Strood so I figured that if I took the car, by the time I got to the shop and found a parking space I’d have finished the shopping if I’d travelled by bike.

I was right, it was gridlocked.  No problem for the Dahon though and the convenient cycle lanes!

It’s a great utility bike.
