Cycling 101

Well, not quite in time for the naked thing, but today I paid a princely sum for a "tatty" klunker of a bike, a cheap lock, a Mickey Mouse©®™ bell, and a decent helmet. It was the cheapest bike I found. And it was in Wimbledon. About an 8 mile ride from home. Welcome to biking in London! During rush hour!

My tatty klunker

It's a Universal City Slicker. Hello! How could I not get it? It has 10 speeds, which is about 9 more than you need here (where it's mostly flat, flat, flat). One of the guys in the shop kept sniggering like he was thinking "I can't believe some idiot is buying this piece of crap." I don't care.
