Ugh totally can’t afford to buy new wheels right now which really screws me since it’s how I get to work (only really icy days I don’t ride). BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO on bike thieves! I hates them.

Very sad to hear that, can’t believe someone would go to the trouble of doing that inside the building. The inconvenience to you is so much bigger than the financial benefit to them. Hope you get some time to grab some new ones

I just found out that some douchebag stole my wheels (even though my bike is locked up inside my building right outside the door to my flat) so my plans might be scrapped either way. ugh. I hate people.

@bathory – that sounds like quite good fun actually. Too bad I’m not in London on xmas day

@Patrick – Me too! I don’t celebrate so I’m hoping for clear weather so I can spend the day exploring the abandoned London streets on my bike!

Didn’t get to cycle in, boo, but pleased to see that the streets of central London around Holborn/Oxford Street appear to be clear. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. I really want to cycle on Xmas day this year!

@Teresa – thanks for comment! Merry christmas to you too
@Joe M – the snow was a little tough to cycle on down streets that had not been gritted so it was a case of not picking up too much speed. I’ve noticed too Joe, guessing people just more keen to get seen especially at winter. Can be little annoying if your right up behind someone.
@Griff – Thanks for visiting and the positive feedback, it’s cool to have a former cycle courier on here. Hope you manage to squeeze bit more cycling into your day!

I don’t live in London anymore, (was a cycle courier 16 years ago), but it’s really cool you have this blog going. Some great ideas too. Road Knight thing sounds really good. I should start taking my bike in on the train when I have meetings in the city, I really dislike the tube so I end up walking.
