Bagwise – practical and the right size to fit in Frankie’s basket: a Longchamp Le Pliage tote in Lilac:
The cycle-plan I did today was the one for work, when I start riding Frankie to the office. I live pretty close to work (less than a 20 min journey, including the train), so riding-in would not be a huge mission. It would also be much nicer than being on a crammed DLR! Although I “know” the route, it’s not that straightforward on foot or by pedal: there is Dual Carriageway to tackle… something that I’m not quite ready to be riding along as a still “inexperienced” cyclist. I’ve found one that I can happily use to get to work & back, which avoids the Carriageway. It also doesn’t force me to cycle on the pavement and annoy people 🙂 Sadly, the main Cycle-Path on this route isn’t very well marked out at all – I guess as a cyclist, I’m now noticing these things, which I go past every day. I do wonder if my local council will get round to re-marking & painting it…
It was an enjoyable ride: The Boy came up to London this weekend with his bike, so again I had that much appreciated guidance & my Cycle Partner 🙂 I’m looking forwards to eventually riding Frankie into work – sorting out the route today was a good idea & has boosted my confidence about doing it…
