Cycling to a restaurant

[deptfordmarmoset]

I sweat when walking.

So, what - wear chinos and a polo and just hope it's not a wet weather day?

Looks like rain all next week. Plus I'd be sore an hour and a half without a chamois.

As @mjray says,under shorts also known as liner shorts, look like the solution. I've got a pair of DHB liner shorts - not as much padding as normal padded shorts but fine for such a distance.

Take a change of clothes and a tin of deodorant. Or get the train, then you can drink safely too

The question nobody has asked is - how far is it?

I read it from the OP, in a way:

I've got an hour and a half commute into the City

so 15 miles?

The question nobody has asked is - how far is it? Why do some people seem to think the only way to ride a bike is full-tilt? The best answer has already been given:

He did say it was an hour and a half commute. So as most people cycle far faster than my 12 mph on a good day I presumed it was over 20 miles.

Cycled out for Christmas lunch this year and just took the smarter stuff in a bag and had a quick clean up and change in the ladies.

Bit risky for a bloke....

Good chance the floor might be a bit drier though.

Or 10? 20? 25?

Let me out you out of your misery - I have no idea how far it is.

Google maps said 2hrs and on previous experience that usually means 1.5hrs for me. The distance isn't important - London is just awkward.

Let me alter the question - are there any cyclist friendly restaurants in London?

Bike rack visible from tables, that sort of thing?

Slow down. Instead of an hour and half sweaty commute, have a two hour fresh one.

Nice site. Cheers.

Not got anything particularly useful though for me.

Ride in and go for a swim in the nearest pool, have a proper shower, then pootle or walk to the eatery. You will have an appetite.
