When I reached one town I slowed to the 30 limit and several bikers caught up with me. They proceeded blast past me and quite a long stream of cars all plodding steadily along at 30 as we entered the town - just so pointless - fair enough if the traffic is crawling slowly so you filter - but it was moving along at 30!
This isn't the first time this has happened and I doubt it'll be the last. Is it so uncool to do the speed limit through towns and villages? or am I just an old fogey?  |
Other than in london, i try to stick to around 30 (that measn up to about 35ish) when riding through towns, especially on known biking routes. In london however, anything goes!
