Cycling, Walking and pushing

I have been to meetings on my estate where discussions around parking disintegrated into a shouting match. I have never owned a car and have always thought that London requires its population to walk, cycle or push like the two elegant ladies below.

Osborn Street runs directly into Brick Lane and in recent years has been a shabby cousin of ‘the Lane’. The passing cyclists designer bike and white high heels is undoubtedly on her way to a chicer place than Osborn Street!

    Really like these photos Philip, I am really going to miss my bike in India! Feeling sad about the prospect, cycling is thrilling, a great way to view things especially as you know I am partial to being inquisitive!!!!
