Ok so I'm a wuss, I haven't been riding into work. I know the temperatures in London aren't all that cold (it's hovering around 0 degrees), but all the snow keeps melting and freezing all day long so it's leading to sheet ice. I've already done the splits a few times just walking on the pavement! So at the moment I'm only getting my bike out when I feel safe. So I'm commuting in on the bus and tube. Hell if the bus driver is only going 10mph then what luck would I have on the roads!
For 2010 the TfL have increaded the charges on all journeys. Single journeys on the bus have risen from £1 to £1.20 and journeys on the tube from £1.60 to £1.80. That really does add up over the course of a week.
So the economic motivation for commuting in on a bike is now even more...motivating. Bring on some warmer weather!
Also a guy who works at head office of my shop (howies), posted this video on our website blog this morning. In London we are all trying to steal a minute of time where we can...a need for speed!
