I Rode London

[morrisman]

Nice data. What happened between to the elevation between mile 24 and 32? Did you fall into a underground line

Pitty the data's in imperial measurement though..........

It seemed to get confused after I walked under the Thames (using the Greenwich Foot Tunnel)

It's in imperial because I'm old (60) and don't understand Roman Catholic measurements

Sir, I respectfully (and with tongue in cheek) refer you to rule 24. http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/#24

I used to cycle the CS2, CS3 and CS7, the CS2 was the worst, but on the weekends when I take the CS3 and CS7 it can be quite pleasent.

Such romantic names!

Wait until the Boris scheme for bike lanes that follow tube lines gets underway...

I understand the rules but don't understand kilometers

Kind of guess distances are quoted in km to sound a long way, and speeds sound faster, recently did 100km which sounds really groovy but it's only ~62 miles

Well Ireland uses the Metric system now, so it's much easier. I still convert speed limits in my head as I drive.

Boris bikes you're supposed to check tires etc. Can't check brakes until you're on it. If it's faulty then you can click a button on a parking bay and then get another.

As for KM and miles. I use KM when running, cycling etc but living in the UK I use miles for car. I think because sport is generally measured in km and m now I do that.

I used to ride in London all the time when I was kid, but it was in black n white in those days. I rode a bit of it the other day on the FNRttC it was all a bit much.

Well - I'm a pensioner and very vincible.

Well I never! I had you down as may be a 25 or 26 year old, how wrong can you be...

Another +1 for London Cycling.

It's a wicked city to cycle in. Hammering it down the Embankment with a tailwind

 

[Pale Rider]

If I park the bike up within 30 minutes, it's free, right?
Should be able to do 1 mile within 30 minutes, right?... or do I need thighs like Chris Hoy to do that on a Boris Bike?

I like cycling in London, but for this journey it would be simpler to walk.

Hehe - tbh, I think it was only about 7 beers a piece Whitstable, if I recall...

Agreed, but I'd like to do it just for the novely/fun/experience of it. I rarely go to London.

[QUOTE 2532036, member: 1314"]I love cycling in London Twenters - I do about 4-5k miles a year through rush hour. When I have a day off I'll cycle into London for fun. It's green(ie), vibrant and safe.

Countryside is boring. Fields and cows and rabbits.[/quote]

Each to their own CofG. I love quiet scenic countryside. I'm learning to love the city riding. As for the 'burbs - I suspect they are the really boring bits.

Does Northern Ireland use km too?
