July 21st, 2009
Month completed: July 2009
Like any good Londoner, I now have a bike.
Like any very good Londoner, I now have a folding bike.
He is orange, and I have named him Banksy, after the iconic London artist/vandal, whose work I dig.
You like?
Here is what Banksy looks like, all folded up at home.
I love riding so much. It cuts down my travel time to work by more than half, and I can stop using public transport. Nat has a bike too, so we are going to start doing lots of weekend rides together – can’t wait!

It’s actually a weird coincidence you posted about your new bike as I was just going to burrow my dad’s one this weekend. Before I went overseas I hadn’t ridden a bike since I was 12 so it will take some getting used to.
My dad actually upgraded to one of these fold up bikes. I always thought they kind of looked like clown bikes as the frame is positioned so low. Anyway didn’t you have a scooter license?

Hi heath, have you lost weight? You look thinner in that photo as compared to your others? Hope your not over doin it on the bike?

Doug – yeah, I have a scooter license, but London is actually not that big, and I can ride from the north to the south in not too much time (plus fuel is about double the price it is in Melbourne)
Gill – thanks for the compliment. I don’t feel any thinner, and suspect a favourable photo angle and lighting might have more to do with it!
