Food Diary

Biking for Dollars (and Pie)

May 20, 2009 · By Monica Shaw

Canary WharfAnother day, another crepe, another scramble, another piece of pumpkin pie: fuel for the fire that propelled me to Canary Wharf on my bicycle in the afternoon. I needed it – the 12 mile round trip was windy, but relatively flat. I travelled to this nether region of London for a client meeting. If it were ever warm in London, I may have arrived sweaty and disgusting. But any hint of perspiration was quickly wicked away by the breeze. Despite the wind and the work, the bike ride was ok. I’ll take it over the bus (or the gym) any day.
