Biking All Over the World

On Friday night I went to pick up a lovely 80's Universal folding bike from a girl at work who's said I can use it and see how I get on with it. Obviously it looks really cool but it had a few tweaks that needed doing to make it, how can I put it.....safer! Enter my friend's wonderful bike loving boyfriend who fixed the breaks and the cables and got it running like a dream!

On Sunday, Paige, Dave and I cycled to The Albion in Angel and locked the bikes up outside (how cute do the look all together eh!) then went for a ride around before they headed off to a gig in Kentish Town. That's when the drama all started for me! I stopped at a set of traffic lights and checked my pocket for my phone and it wasn't there - it had dropped out of my pocket en route. So I quickly turned around, cycled all the way back on myself and couldn't find it. Gutted. Got home, barred my phone so that whoever had it couldn't use it and then put my coat on to head to the police station to report it potentially stolen. I then did what I do EVERY DAY when putting on my coat which is put my hands in my pockets.......and low and behold there was my phone!! Couldn't believe it! I'd just had my hair highlighted so I'm blaming it on a blonde moment......

Anywho, I've now started cycling to work which is amazing. Takes 15 mins instead of a 30-40 minute bus ride and it's a bit of exercise everyday. Need to figure out when I have the energy to run too so might give it a few days and get back to running in the morning before work.

Loving this health kick - hope I'm helping inspire some of you out there!
