You probably looked like one too


I've been without a bike in full leathers with my lid once or twice too...

I've done the same thing.

Bus, tube and then mainline train back on a bus. All to go pick up a bike.

From Stanmore to Colchester.

I just thought it amusing the amount of confused faces I saw looking at me.

I've done it lots of times when I've had to leave my bike for a service. Wearing leathers seems to put people off sitting next to you on the tube.

A gimp mask and ball gag gets you half a carriage. Bonus at rush hour on the Jubilee line.

+1. Good way of getting a seat to yourself on a crowded bus.
