As an asthma sufferer I paid heed to the dire warnings on the Toady program on R4 this morning and seriously considered commuting by train today. However, being on auto-pilot when I get up, I found myself downstairs in the kitchen dressed in cycling kit. So I rode in.
I didn't notice any deterioration in the air quality at all. No deterioration from the usual poor quality in Brum, that is.
Maybe it hasn't worked its way north yet.
Perhaps I'd better be careful tonight if it's heading this way. I know, I'll only ride as far as the pub and take a couple of breathers there.
Yes, I think that would be best.
