Boo, I had to leave the bike at home today for various reasons and am jealous. I agree with you about the motorbikes - thankfully I don't tend to encounter many on my route (gawd bless her majesty's canals!) apart from the INCREDIBLY STUPID young lads who ride those miniature motorised scooter things up and down the towpath at Bethnal Green, with their knees up by their ears. They're horrendously loud and dangerous and it makes them look very silly indeed. I DUNNO THE YOUTH OF TODAY etc
