Ohhhhh yes! I took the tube from Embankment to Parsons Green last Friday (because I was on a rest day, and because there was actually a queue to get into Holborn station), and it took about twice the time it would have by bike. And it kept being delayed for all kinds of stupid reasons, and there were loads of loud smelly people, and I could feel the sweat dripping down my back, and neck, and cleavage. (Employers should have to provide showers for people who use the tube!)
I got off at the other end and vowed never to get on a tube train again. And as luck would have it, the chap I was meeting gave me a bike, so I got to ride that home, and didn't even have to worry about buses!
The moral? Don't take the tube.
