  • Riding back from picking up bars and stem from Todd (thanks again) I stopped at traffic lights on the junction of Clerkenwell Road and St John St waiting to turn left.

    This guy came over and asked me where Cheese Street was. I said I had no idea. He then expressed surprise as "you couriers know where all the streets are don't you?".

    I'm sure you misheard him. He must have meant Gee Street--just a short bunny hop, skid and thump away. He may have been looking for the Magistrates' Court.

    But of course quite a lot of information instantly gets transformed into something food-related in cyclists' minds. If someone asked me where, as a random example, Brooksby's Walk was, I'd probably first hear 'Broccoli Wok' or something.
