    Given that I pass the office three times every night on my way to have a
    leak, not me.

    I care. I care deeply about all sorts of things.

    Yes, and I did it in 15 minutes (SW14 -> Tottenham Court Road). Which was
    nice.

    What, for a 400m walk up a hill?
    Erm, no. Actually, I could tell when it was Ride to Work day, when I
    commuted in that London. We're better off without them getting the
    fucking way of the jousting lane IMO.

    I saw more bikes out there today than I normally do, but it was sunny.
    I took the car, didn't have any choice because I was out with my boss
    all day.

  11. In my previous job the company offered freebies and a free breakfast
    to cyclists (there was no distinction then) so we asked if it included
    us and they said yep. I always rode to work so I was chuffed.

    My company are moving to a new building next year and they've assigned
    48 motorcycle spaces. which will be nice for the three of us who
    regularly ride in!

    Inevitable really. I do hope you were suitably sarcastic in reply.

    Not really. I did however make full use of the weather to stress a
    point. That being, the rep's cars don't have air-conditioning and we
    could really do with it. Driving around London today was murder in the
    heat we had.

  16. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember "Mr. Fantastic"
    "Work to Ride" more like.

    Well woopee-doo!
    Yes. Like on every other day.
    IRDGAS.

    I'd be marginally more interested if it were "Ride 2 Work, Ride Around
    The Farnborough Twisties For An Hour At Lunchtime, And Ride Home Again
    Day". Then I would know to take a break whilst everyone else clogs up
    the roads.

    To be fair, they did offer me a water bottle when I biked in on the cycle
    day.

    BTW, I'm across at Longbenton on Monday for a 10am meeting ... want to meet
    up for lunch at the Amble Inn?
