Real cycling: Stranded

01 June 2009

At the north end of Waterloo Bridge, bikes can go straight on across Strand onto Wellington Street on this handy bike cut-thr... doh!

It's not about lycra. It's not about racing, or saving the world, or crossing the Nullarbor Plain alone except for the film crew.

It's about the best way of commuting, shopping, sightseeing, socialising, partying, and generally just getting from A to B every day: by bike. We're based in York, but get around the UK a fair bit.
