A machine to dispense inner tubes ... cool or what?

This is just outside a bike shop near the Truman Brewery area off Brick Lane in London

If you get too depressed about going out and about, I couldn't help but notice some very fancy new clothing at Cycle Chic - I find buying nice new gear a really good incentive for going out!

The Cycle of Karma

When you're cycling around 100 miles a week through London, you develop some strange notions. The one I can't get out of my head is that you build up karma - good and bad - depending on how you cycle. So - if you stop at red lights, wait politely for pedestrians, smile at cars, you get rewarded - the next light turns green for you straight away, someone smiles back at you - you get the picture. Of course this doesn't always work, but it works often enough for me to try to cycle by those rules. Most of the time.
