Got a nice specialised hanging up in the garage - haven't ridden it for a while. Current go-about is a rather natty folding Brompton. Bought it from a bloke some of you might know - Mr T, a stallholder down brick lane - was his own bike, I had to go down to his flat to pick it up.
I ride the Brompton a lot more than I thought I would. Fits into cupboards and under desks and into luggage racks on the train excellently. Feel a right Londoner when I ride it. Took it up to Derby (on the train) for a ride in the (light) snow a few weeks ago. For some odd reason, I was the only person riding on the road. All the other bikers I saw were on the pavement. Maybe something in the water.
