I went on the Skyride through central London.

For those of you who don´t know what Skyride is, it is a day when certain streets are shut to motorised traffic and cyclists rule the roost as we are able to cycle through the city taking in some of the historic landmarks and monuments without having to worry about being kocked off our bikes by overzealous cabbies crossing lanes for fares, bus drivers not checking their mirrors before pulling out and drivers believing they are the only people who have the right to be on the road.

This was my first Skyride but I can say it won´t be my last. Must have covered 40k today and what an enjoyable 40k it turned out to be.
