Re: How do you do it? First Capital Ride.
London's fine, you just need eyes in the back of your helmet, and PAY ATTENTION constantly, to everything!
I'm slower than the London riders that do it every day, but that's the way I'm happy with it, it gives my eyes and brain the time they need to process the information overload and keep me safe. May be doing it every day soon, so I guess I'll be getting quicker with practice. Go try Mexico City! Last edited by -Ralph-; 09-08-11 at 06:14 PM. |

Dodge the bricks and petrol bombs and I'm sure you'll be fine.

In the three years since I passed my test, probably 95 percent of my riding has been in and around Town (I do a year-round, daily commute). In many ways I actually prefer it to riding around country lanes. Does that make me a bit odd? |

Re: How do you do it? First Capital Ride.
