Urban cyclist

Urban cyclist Equipped Miki with lights and a fluorescent Sam Browne and we were off exploring the Regents Canal east from Camden Lock. Ducks, hump-back bridges and canal locks: we coulda been in the countryside. Many feel the same: we passed Londoners fishing or barbecuing by the water, and stopped at The Narrow Boat, a canalside pub that has opened a downstairs bar by the canal since I last rode this route.

Along to Victoria Park in Hackney and the cut through to the Hertfordshire Canal, then back to the Islington tunnel. Upper St found us dinner outside at Ottolenghi, then wobbling home through the quiet bits of Kentish Town and over Parliament Hill.
