A Lovely Day for a Bike Ride
In Clissold Street the speed humps have been levelled where the pop-up cycleway would have crossed them. That's a really nice touch. This group of Asian men were very clearly enjoying their freedom to cycle without feeling threatened. They were not following the cycle route, but rather they joined it at the junction of Clissold Street with Capstone Avenue, switching from one side of the road to the other to do so. There is a myth that Asians don't cycle because it's not aspirational. It's utter racial hogwash. Asians don't cycle *in the UK* because just like most people they don't like the idea of dicing with Death on the carriageway, and it makes no difference which part of the massive Asian continent they or their ancestors came from. With thanks to my brother for sorting out this photo after it got stuck in limbo between RAW and JPG format.
