So there’s a planned tube strike in London starting at 7pm tonight. Mayor Boris Johnson called the planned strike “ludicrous and unnecessary disruption”. It certainly feels like a dumb thing to do to your customers. I have to be in London on Thursday. My bicycle is broken so I’ve decided to walk to work instead. I called into Radio London and told them about my planned adventure. Paul Ross asked me if I would skip at least part of the way. I will do just that and I will call Mr Ross en route just prior to the skipping section. The map shows my route, I plan to divert to take in as much parkland as practically possible. If you know any interesting places along my journey, drop me a line and I’ll try to fit them in.
Fair play to you. I hope that the weather was kind to you.
btw – what is your cycle route from Carshalton to St Pauls?
PS – you must have set yourself the challenge as well as wanting to avoid all the crazy ‘novice’ cyclists. Otherwise you are possibly the only time trailist in the UK who only has one set of wheels?
Hi Gerry thanks for getting in touch. My route is mainly A roads, whizzing down bus lanes is a great way to liven up quick sharp in the mornings. I confess I was keen to avoid the masses that day, and you’ve got me bang to rights….I mean, one set of wheels, you’re kidding right!
