Here is what I learnt today:
- Always carry a water bottle. If perchance you forget, get ready to pant like a dog and have total strangers stare at you.
- Be considerate to pedestrians. They are equally scared when they see you approaching them.
- While we are on point no. 2, also be considerate to motorists. You wouldn't want to piss someone off who can hurt you with a 1000 kg metal object.
- If your legs start hurting, take a break. You don't want to reach a point where you collapse on the road.
- Try not to cycle in the middle of the road, lest you wanna look something like frogger.
- Carry a lock. Even though your cycle belongs to the Victorian era, someone will want to swipe it.
- Carry a spare shirt and loads of deo, 'cos by the time you reach your destination, you will be raising the dead with the stench.
