I went to my Friend Max's house in Leytonstone last summer to play an internet radio DJ set with him in the company of a few friends. I left his house riding fixed at about 4am, and the night was warm. I was heading home for Old Street, and after about 5 or 10 minutes I felt total contentment, like I was floating above the road with only the hum of my tyres on the road, and zero effort from my legs. I thought this was a very Zen moment for London roads, but there was so little traffic that I could be alone for a few minutes at a time before an occasional car interupted. What a wonderful feeling. I hope I get to experience it again soon.
