I'm Melting

The humidex has just hit 38, which means I am going to be a puddle on my bike ride home from the office. I'm also going to be chewing on the smog that wafts into London from our buddies in Chemical Valley and the U.S. Midwest. Isn't cycling supposed to be healthy?

I cycle to work - either a Specialized Stumpjumper Comp (pink!) or a Miele mountain bike (purple!) - as part of my one-person, misguided plan to save the planet. London is a great place to ride. But on days like today, I'm tempted to chuck it all and take the car.
