Tex in London

[Tex]

Got in from Oz for a few weeks visit. Inner London is "flat as" as my New Zealand mates would say. I brought along my bike Friday, had a long ride yesterday afternoon to make sure I blew away jet lag and I can't say I'm missing electric assist. I think I'd reserve for very long commutes from outer London if I lived here.

Welcome to London Tex, I hope you enjoy your stay and that the weather doesn't go too sour on you. You certainly arrived at a good point.

Thanks flecc. I live my month-long stints here in any weather. The British are very welcoming. And I do love a blast around hyde park / regents park.

I was wondering what bike u use in London and If you live in Oz have u riden a stealth bomber yet?
How does it compare to a 850R?

I ride a bike Friday pocket rocket pro for travel and so here in London. Non electric. back in Oz my Optibike, Bionx cannondales and electric brompton do me fine. I don't need any more speed.

Damn the weather here is FINE!

Yes, very out of character at the moment Tex. The forecast shows plenty more sunshine for as few days yet in the South East of England, just a chance of the odd shower on Thursday.

Pop back for our summer in June, July and August and we should have torrential rain and even the odd snow shower for you!

I rode out to Windsor this weekend. Had a look around Cliveden House and the National Trust Gardens. Beautiful country Flecc. Stunning in fact. "walk over England's pastures green" indeed. Or ride.

 

[Tex]

Of course it should go; "Walk upon England's mountains green". Appologies to Mr Blake.

Total electric bikes spotted so far in London? 20. Not bad. And still loving this weather. Great place, great people. Great riding. (albeit non electric).
