bugger

I have just bought a cycling helmet.

This means I no longer have any excuse not to try cycling in to work tomorrow morning.

Bugger.

Surely you can keep to quieter roads for much of the journey?

Yes; that's the idea. I cycled from stefanc's to my gym (which is near my work) yesterday on a more direct route that took in Essex Road, Upper Street and turning right there onto Pentonville Road where, due to my unfamiliarity with the route and my own inexperience, half way down the hill I found I'd forgotten to stick to the right hand side, and was just very lucky that a car let me in (all the cars have to turn off left half way down, but cyclists can carry on down the whole thing). That was reasonably light Bank Holiday traffic, I think; I really wouldn't fancy going that way in peak rush hour. That turning at Angel would give me a heart attack every time, for a start.
