pedal power…

June 7th, 2009

Raleigh GlideI bought a bike last weekend. Trotted into Halfords on Saturday and picked up a shiny new Raleigh Glide. It’s a fantastic mountain bike with 21 gears and an on board computer ! I even bought a natty cycling helmet to go with it.

So, I’ve been cycling everywhere. Went over Wimbledon Common to Kingston and cycled all the way up Tooting Bec to Balham and round the back of Wandsworth.

It’s great to hit the road on a bike and power your way through town. Busses are scary and other cyclists surprisingly hazardous. But it’s fantastic fun.

I was massively impressed by all the cycleways, bike lanes, sign posts and recessed curbs all laid on to aid this hapless cyclist and prevent him from getting hopelessly lost or hit by a truck.

Bought a neat little iPod Shuffle yesterday to keep me entertained on the bike. So, off on an epic ride over to Richmond Park this afternoon, if it ever stops raining.

Budget Day

April 22nd, 2009

Just watched the coverage of today’s budget.  Colossal £175bn national debt that will take at least a decade to clear. Taxes and unemployment spiralling ever upwards. Bad, bad news. The good times are very definitely over.

It’s Labour’s black wednesday. In fact, it’s the end of New Labour. Crashing out of the ERM finally finished the Tories, their reputation for economic management in shreds. Similarly, the current recession, and Labour’s response to it, has  sealed their electoral fate. They simply can’t win the next election now. They are too compromised on the economy.
