Today I am writing in praise of the humble bike ride.
What can be better than escaping into the countryside on a bicycle?
It’s what I try to do as often as I can. Sometimes I might cycle straight out of London but I will also jump on the train to skip the boring bits. That’s what I did on this ride at the end of August, taking the Metropolitan line out to Amersham and skirting around the edges of the Chilterns to explore a few old churches.
A part of the ride involved a track across open fields. I have mentioned many before how much I love the open sky and on a late summer’s day this seemed perfect. So much so that I recorded a short video of that section of the ride…
