Well for the first time this year I have ridden the bike to work. Great feeling to have the thumper between my legs again, oh errr that sounds wrong. ;D
Took it nice and steady as bike been mothballed all winter. but it all went well.
Have to admit on the safety side I actually forgot to put my boots on :o and rode in trainers ! but it won't happen again.

i have thought about taking the bike to the train station, i would save over £130 a month easy, trouble is i would have to wear all my gear on the train, no storage at the station itself.
I then cycle from London Marylebone to Covent Garden, and i don't want to do it in bike gear.

Oh dear, rains seams to be getting worse :( looks like I am in for a soaking on the ride home.

Get a top box
Or a bike for London - something small and cheap

Rain going home if preferable by far to rain going to work.
Have a shower when you get in and you will feel exonerated.
P.S. Don't forget to dry your clothes for the trip in tomorrow though! ;)

Don't want a top box, think they look awful on my bike.
Don't need a motorbike in London, pedal power is more than enough and actually faster!
Might get a small tail pack that goes over the pillion seat though.

Great tip :y it would not be the first time I have had to put on wet gear in the morning.
Was actually reasonably lucky, just a few spots coming down, got wetter from the puddles.

Not possible - had a similar argument with a neighbour who thought mopeds were quickest, I proved my answer.
Middleweight bikes are quickest in town, small enough for manouvability and big enough to be quick.
