    Forever funny. Another example of how he's consistently in touch because he literally is out there, not stuck in any car, let alone Roller or the like.

    This guys down to earth. You don't have to have the latest gear or the fanciest bike. It's cool just to be out and about riding.

    "I used the energy of a single ... nacho to get here."
    As a 53 year old 18 stone cyclist I fully empathise !

    This is wonderful. Reminds me many years of city cycling in California. But it was jarring at my first look and I thought "Look out Alexei! You're on the wrong side of the road, you scofflaw!" Cyclists in California are often accused of using their mobility to abuse traffic laws. But then I remembered that in the UK one is expected to be on that side.
    I believe that John Forester, author of the cycling classic "Effective Cycling" is also opposed to separating cycle and auto traffic.

    Where's the old Alexei? So much to rail against as an urban cyclist and he is/was the man to do it!

    when Alexei says it took him 20 minutes to get to that restaurant, if he had gone by car, it wouldve took him 1 hour then he woudlve have to have got fuel, then he also would have to find somewhere to park (or even get ripped off paying to park), so the meal wouldve cost triple in fuel, carbon footprint and also in stress........

      @@dave20thmay I started wearing a cycle helmet in 1980 (they were rubbish then a bit like rugby caps but that was all there was) when a cyclist in front of me came off his bike and hit the side of his head on the edge of the pavement. It was very messy and we were not going more than 15 mph.

      @@KW-qq7nu Yes I can see that you are talking sense, but the thing is not too really too much on the helmet. I have ridden motorcycles since 1958 and never had a helmet make contact with the road. But you can wear a helmet while skiing and still damage your brain seriously, you will know what I'm talking about here. So don't think of a helmet as a St. Christopher Cross that will save you, do everything to prevent contact by even wrapping your arms over your head. Then, of course, you risk collar bone or wrist. Oh, the dangers of movement.
