Holibobs

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm off on holibobs tomorrow, so this will be my last daily post for a while - I'll try to post a bit from the other side of the world, but it could be a bit sporadic.

I've been doing a bit more digging on where I'm going, and it seems that LA has plans for something like 1,500 miles of bikeways in the next few years and even the buses have bike racks on them.  Maybe it's not the Netherlands' model we should be aspiring to.

It has also occurred to me that if I do any cycling while I'm away, I'm going to have to deal with yet another new concept - they drive on the wrong side of the road.  James and I discussed this earlier, and we reckon there's a chance that I might actually deal with this better than he will, as I've only been riding on the road in the UK for a very short time, whereas he has been riding on the left since the beginning of time.  Only time will tell, and I'm not entirely convinced that either of us riding on the wrong side of the road in a different country is a great idea.

Anyhow, ta ta for now - think of us on our enormously long flight tomorrow, and also think of my friend (who I wrote about the other day) who has her first cycling class at 9 a.m.
