It is Bike Week this week and it finishes this Sunday 27th June. I am not really sure who decided to have Bike Week or what the purpose is, but there are various bike events going on around the UK. I am not taking part because I already cycle and the best way to promote cycling is to just do it and in style. Hence the pedicure and strappy Gap sandals which go well with the Brompton. I had to get to an early meeting in Peckham this morning. It is nice to see cyclists in shorts, flip flops and sandals while the hot weather lasts in London. I was enjoying a speedy ride in the sun but then I had to slow down because there were so many little potholes. Time to pump up the wheels.
I am also not taking part in any bike event because I have been spending time gardening early in the morning and after work. It is the last week to get my tomatoes and sweet corn into the ground.

and the council might do something. I told them about a stank* lid 4 yrs ago and it's still not been mended.
Poor road condition is a good reason to ride well out into the road.
*That drain cover in your photo is a stank lid.
Love the sandals! I have been cycling with sandals too and it's so nice to feel the breeze through the skin!! I am keeping my fingers crossed this lovely weather continues.
We were 'saying' (with other cyclist bloggers) the Bike to Work Week seems to have been advertised to people who already cycle and appreciate the benefits of leaving their car behind! doh!
I don’t think reporting them will do anything at the moment because of the ongoing road works caused by Thames Water pipe replacement work.
I agree about the advertising. I heard about National Bike Week through the London Cycling Campaign but I haven’t seen it anywhere else.
