I'm off to the Bishopsgate event on Thursday, it looks more serious and less fun than the event tonight at Cafe Otto.
Sinclair is much more a walker than cyclist, but in the first section he tells of injuring his leg and having to dig out his bike to get around. A fine counterpoint to the experience of Ken Worpole, another Hackney writer of the Centerprise generation, who cycled so much the physio told him to walk more or risk losing the power of his walking muscles.
Like many of us Sinclair first got to understand London through cycling to work. Few people understand London better.
