Word up.
It’s been an absolute joy since I swapped Walworth Road/Elephant for a straight burn through Burgess Park. No idea why I hadn’t make that change well before recent times.
Also, I keep seeing a worrying trend of single speed/geared bikes with no back brake – at least one a day now. It’s okay for areas such as Dalston where these riders not only look really cool, but they are protected by their cloak of invincibility (this is known as the wax jacket in the ye olde backwoods of beyond); down south they’re just asking for a sodding mischief. People are idiots.
