Forget about Cameron and Clegg - and believe me, I'd like to - there's only one coalition I'm interested in this season and that's coffee and cycling. That's Not My Age's lifelong bicycle obsession reached it's zenith yesterday at Look Mum No Hands!, a cycle café on Old Street with what is possibly the best name for a shop, ever. There's room to park your bike, cycling gear for sale, free wi-fi and the owners are more than happy for cyclists to carry out their own bike repairs on site (er, thanks but no thanks). And more importantly there's food and beer. Mr & Mrs That's Not My Age weren't interested in getting our hands dirty, we were there to re-fuel. Not put off by the young hipsters in old-school cotton caps and traditional cycle pants fiddling with their spokes, we scoffed our pie and salad and pedalled our way home.
You can see a small selection of my bike-related photos here - and here are a few more:
Look Mum No Hands! 49 Old Street, London EC1
What a great place, and you are a great advert for the sport, I am quite envious after gaining 4lbs and feeling rather bloated I am off to the gym xx
ReplyDeleteBrilliant name for the shop - love it! I feel that Mr and Mrs TNMA would adore Melbourne and Australia as a whole for their many bike related cafes where hoardes of breakfast diners in particular converge after their weekend cycle jaunts to refuel and talk all things 'bike related'!! p.s. they do look fairly intimidating sometimes though in their lycra and helmets! x
ReplyDeletewhat a great place and cute name.
ReplyDeleteWe have so many great cycle paths round here and we even had a discussion about using them today.....until we looked out the window that is!
Hi there-sounds a lovely place to visit!!
ReplyDeleteAm envious! I really need to get out on my ol' bike again!
ReplyDeleteAli
My pashley would like an outing there!
ReplyDeleteIt's a brilliant name for a bike shop. I pass it often. What type of pies do they sell?
ReplyDeleteI'd love a bike but my boyfriend thinks I'll be too dangerous on it!
You are a fabulous advert for cycling. You look great! xx
Bikes, coffee, and pies - what else do you need! Am off there now..
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant looking place! I haven't been out on my bike in ages, with a cool place like that to visit I'd be as fit as a flea in no time. xxx
ReplyDeleteReally should take some exercise, often fancy cycling but no,far too many hills around here!
ReplyDeleteIf that is you on a bike, you do not need to dress up any more, you look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat find. I am sure you were in your element. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteWe have a bike-shop/cafe only 50 metres from our house (on the cycle route to the city) but it doesn't have BEER. Spouse is a keen cyclist, Kid 1 also, but I'm scared of traffic (and fundamentally LAZY LAZY LAZY).
ReplyDeleteHow very cool! I'm feeling so out-of-shape of late and need a little motivation. Too much work and too much fear of losing it! Thanks for a great post. R xox
ReplyDeleteCute name.
ReplyDeleteI really need to be riding my bike. ... it's collecting dust in the garage!

You look utterly amazing there, I'm going through an ugh exercise sigh phase but you've just pushed me to keep going.
