Slumming it with the Bottom Dwellers

Everyone hates a cyclist, even it would seem, other cyclists. I regularly pass between the various food levels in the transport chain but rarely get lower than when I drag out the push bike. Cycle commuting is a thankless task so its fortunate then that’s it such good fun. I haven’t used my bike...

London to Brighton – Geeky Stuff

As promised earlier, here’s the route map for the London to Brighton 2009 Bike Ride, courtesy of RunSaturday. I’ve also added the speed splits from Sporttracks just to illustrate how painfully slow the process was. I’ve currently got my log set up to show running and jogging paces but its quite interesting to see...

London to Brighton 2009

Call that a bike ride….? At one point I thought we were actually going to be walking all the way to Brighton. Experienced L2B’ers had warned me to start the event early but I’m too lazy to get up for a 6am start. I may have had a leisurely 8:30am kick off but I...

Brompton World Championships – 2008

I am such a social cretin before an event and watching the city boys arrive at the coach station in their pin striped suits and titanium s-bar bikes didn’t go anyway towards making me feel at home. I cheered up a bit on arrival at Blenheim when friendly faces appeared out of the crowd...

Struggled, Tickled and Inspired

Running and therefore blogging seems to have turned into quite a struggle recently. I get to the 2k point and feel as though I can’t go any further. My body feels like lumpen clay but I think my battle is as much mental as physical. Running can be a tough nut to crack sometimes....

I Need a Tie

I have just entered the Brompton World Championship race to be held at Blenheim Palace. Catch that, a world bloody championship! Anyway, rules state I must wear a suit jacket, collared shirt and a tie. I don’t have a tie – disaster! Anybody got a spare tie that would complement my delightful bike and...

Two Tone Brompton

Here’s a quick pictorial introduction to the new bike recruit. The Brompton is squeezing alongside the other two bikes and trying to carve out a niche for itself. So far it’s doing very well and I’m beginning to worry about what I’ll do with the other two. I wonder if I could have a...

TdF – Stage 1

July 11, 2007
By warriorwoman

The tour came to London this weekend and I was lucky enough to be on the marshalling team for Sunday’s Stage 1 from London to Canterbury, not that I felt particularly lucky when my alarm went off at 4.45am. I was shipped out to Woolwich, not one of the more delightful spots of the...

BPTT Update for 26th May

I tried to capture the essence of todays stampede but I just ended up getting in the way and the movie ends as the camera gets knocked out of my hands. Don’t you just hate home movies anyway? _YmFSeS3YqM After the run (that I didn’t do – again), I went off on the bike...

Handlebar GPS Thingumy

A whole new commuting challenge lies ahead of me. My new job is flippin miles away, just teetering on the edge of the metropolis called Greater London. If I lose my balance I’m liable to stumble into the central reservation of the M25. Thought I better take a ride out today to check out...
