I do 38km each day (I normally round it up to 40) from Sutton to Elephant & Castle. I ride 48/19 on a Ridgeback Solo. Just fitted a hub dynamo & Cyo. Not cool, but well worth it. I ride every day, but when it gets icy, I'm going to be using the tourer with studded tyres. Last year, I bailed one day other than illness/injury, and that was because the cars were skidding and I was convinced I was going to get rear ended. No trains running by then, so I went for a walk in the snow.
And I've still never been spotted!
