That makes sense - thanks a lot. Now to work out a route and go for a practice run. I worked it out on the AA's website, and it's abnout 11miles each way! I think that's a bit too far to do everyday. Any ideas how long that would take in rush hour London, anybody?
G'day dpc1, It depends on where in London you are talking about.
If you 're fairly fit and a young bloke you should be able to ride at about 25 kilometres an hour without too much trouble.
Work it out, it should take you three quarters of an hour, or more if you travel slower, however if you travel quicker it will obviously take you less time.
I used to ride from Manor Park (East End) to Whitechapel in twenty minutes?
Every day of the week, for about six years, winter and summer.
In summer I would leave Whitechapel and ride down to Southend and back to Manor Park, after work, three night a week, just to get a few more miles in?
One time I got stopped by a copper on Romford Road at Bow Church, he said I was "Riding Furiously" and told me to slow down?
Don't think about it just do it?
Keep the wheels in motion, and don't look back unless it's to see who you dropped on the last climb? TBC
