why do people do this?

By the time i reached the tubestation my hands and feet were freezing and didnt get warm till i had to get off again! of course no chance of sitting on the Piccadilly line!

Saw a bike while walking to work and was sooo jealous!

I am psyching myself up to taking the train next Wednesday as I will be having a few drinks in the evening, so don't want to take the bike in.  Best thing is to go to work a bit later than normal and miss the crush of the rush hour... At least, that is the theory...

what really gets me is when an already fully loaded train pulls in, and just when you think surely no one else can manage it, 2 or 3 people push their way in, you can see their sweaty faces pressed against the doors, WHY?! when there's another train in 5-10mintes max!

they lack the common sense to avoid getting the tube in the first place during rush hour. surely there's no floor to their silliness.

Unfortunately been doing this for just over a week now. Tyres are as squared off as they can get and possibly just legal, suspension is in dire need of a rebuild and I need a new chain and sprockets. Besides the fact that I learned a very hard lesson on ice a while back, none of the above inspires any confidence in winter riding.

So thats why im doing it, but man do I miss the ride.

Pointy end forward and shiny side up .... thats the theory anyway

Noooo. I'm having a little operation on my wrist next week and will have to put up with public transport options for 3 weeks

at least I'll be on the overland trains though, not the tube, but still not looking forward to it one bit....
