Ponky London Bike Bandit

[joggerjayne]

I had to go to ponky London today, and I used a Boris Bike.

:0)

Yay, me!

That makes me like a proper London commuter person. If I blow my nose, it will be black, lol ... tmi ??

[berniecuddles]

lol take her out with you

[DTCwordfan]

and she wants to see you hooked up. Has she met the BF yet?

[joggerjayne]

LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL ... !!!!!!

[joggerjayne]

Yes, she's met him, and his parents, and been to a house they have in Italy, and ...

Aaaagghhh!!!

[berniecuddles]

bit worried about the aaaaaaaargh bit lol

[DTCwordfan]

I would be too, bernie.

[DTCwordfan]

shhhh, it's the prospect of Brightonitaliano bambinos........

[joggerjayne]

Whooaahh! ... SO not happening!!!

It's the scariness of your parents becoming best pals with your BF's parents.

When I was dating Pencil Dick, they never met his parents, I don't think.

[berniecuddles]

pencil dick hope he had a rubber lol

[joggerjayne]

Happily, no more trips to London required this week.

[DTCwordfan]

Phew, Knocker Boris is spared.......

[joggerjayne]

Might do this, though ... rent a Boris Bike for 24 hours, put it in a car, drive it the south of France, ride it up Mont Ventoux, and then get it back and redocked within 24 hours ...

[DTCwordfan]

the real challenge would be to do this with the bf and see how many physical, all body and mind-busting personal 'mountains' one could climb in that time......

[joggerjayne]

And then park him somewhere in London? lol

I have to agree with CD on this one I'm afraid JJ. I don't like cyclists. As a pedestrian and as a driver. I have nearly been run over by cyclists at traffic lights many times. I have also nearly crashed into cyclists turning right into a road where a driver has given me way but the cyclist has just carried on. Don't know if its just Croydon this happens in!

Boris Bike spinning class flash mob ...

[joggerjayne]

tiggy, down on the front here, the cycle lane is on the footpath instead of the road.

Pedestrians are always walking in front of bikes.

I'll go with the Its a brilliant scheme theory, looking at the way these scheme work on the continent its a brilliant way of doing things. Give it time more people will use and appreciate it.... good on ya JJ for trying it.... ( the scheme in Toulouse is brilliant)

Should have read more before posting...we are going through a cluture change regarding cycling in the UK. No issue for me I ride one of my collection of bikes every time I get the chance. The country needs educating about cycling to make it work and it'll help us all hugely. It's the healthiest way to get around
