| Commuting through London in the snow isn’t the best. It’s really really cold and when it’s actually snowing it feels like someone is throwing freezing pins at your face. So I did a runner to Madrid for the weekend, which was a whole 8 degrees warmer and completely less snowy. |
 |
| Madrid is beautiful and it is pretty quiet this time of year so obviously I hired a bike and rode all over the city. |
 |
| El Rastro is a Sunday market that has been going for almost 500 years. It gets pretty random. Gas masks anyone? Anyone? Bueller? |
 |
| A heart shaped bump in the road. Parque del Oeste. |
 |
| Outside Otero Bicicletas bike shop. |
 |
| I refuse to go anywhere with out a bit of Herb Lester map porn. Cartographers know where it’s at. |
 |
| They are building shiny new bike lanes all over the city so watch this space. |
 |
| By the end of the weekend I had almost started looking the right way. |
I hired a bike from Rent and Roll who are new kids in town. They are crazy cheap (10 hours for €10) and they throw in baskets, locks and helmets. I can’t big these guys up enough. Plus they are situated right by Parque del Retiro which is a beautiful massive park. Ideal if you don’t want to brave the roads.
