Not yet, but I'm working on it :) I have my bicycle waterproofs for now, but I know I'm going to need something a bit more sturdy.
Yup, I have a fleece neck tube I've been using when cycling in cold weather, so it'll come in handy. I tried on a really nice Hein Gericke jacket,...
Ladies and gents, meet Patricia* https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B30l0bQ42DciOU1GOG9RUUU1MkU/view?usp=sharing I took her for a little test ride...
Hello from SE London! With congested streets and overcrowded Tube, It doesn't surprise me that there's so many scooter riders in the Big Smoke :)
Thanks, guys! I'll probably avoid Blackwall and Rotherhithe tunnels - I don't feel comfortable in them in a car, let alone on a scooter. If all...
I took my CBT on Saturday and I think the most important bit is to remember this is not a test, but an opportunity to learn. If you're not sure...
Thanks, guys! I'm going to take your advice and try on any clothing, including gloves (I have small hands and wearing gloves that were too large...
Thanks everyone! Going to test the two bikes I'm torn between on Thursday and I might even ride out on one. They're both used, but with low...
Indeed, I have an old, sturdy pair of Doc Martens, as well as some biker boots, steel cap military ones, New Rock boots... Now that I think of it,...
I always stop at traffic lights, but since I've just changed jobs, my shifts are a bit different. I used to start at 7 am, so I'd leave home...
Just checked out Furygan - lovely stuff, wish I could afford some of it now. On the other hand, sometimes, buying cheap is false economy, so I...
Will do! Is it worth going down the full comp route, or would third party, fire and theft do?
Woohoo, CBT done! It was actually great fun, and the part that I found the hardest was - wait for it - taking the bike off the centre stand and...
All done - got my CBT, so now it's time to look for a scooter! My instructor asked me what I had in mind and he said both Honda Vision 110 and SH...
I can't wait to switch from Tube to scooter! I've started my new job on Monday, and the hours are different than in my previous one. If I hated...
Good call! Mind you, I don't really do colours - I'm an all black everything girl, and everything I will ever need for riding comes in black :D...
Thanks for that! I'm not far from Holborn, so I'll be sure to have a look. Fortunately, I don't have to wear smart clothes for work, so I can get...
This is so true! As a cyclist, I learned not to trust other road users and expect the worst from them. I wonder if scooter riders/motorcyclists...
Thanks, Tamiyacowboy - your post is very helpful indeed! You've given me some food for thought and, after considering all the pros and cons, I...
Thanks for the warm welcome, guys! Tamiyacowboy, I have a vague feeling that using mirrors will be a challenge at first! As someone who's cycled...
