Abstract Bangkok

Multiple exposures using a Holga.

Night-time on the Sukhamvit

Neon lights, traffic, Go go bars, restaurants and markets.  Lady boys, hawkers, beggars, tourists, prostitutes and office workers jostle and hustle their way through this river of tarmac, light and noise.  Intimidating, exciting, bewildering and bizarre, there's no other street on earth like the Sukhamvit.  Especially at night.

My New Ride.



And here it is, my new ride (though in fact I've been riding this for a couple of months).  She looks great and what's more, I assembled her!

A steel track frame, painted matt black, which I bought off Ebay fitted with a golden Sturmey Archer crankset, bull horn bars and a single speed gear at the back.

A 46 tooth chainring at the front and a 16 tooth gear at the back -  perfect for riding the twenty miles into work along the towpath which follows the River Lea from Broxbourne into London.

I am really coming to appreciate the simplicity of a single speed bike especially now the weather is improving and the towpath drying out.  She's certainly not light but it's a great training bike and my legs are already feeling stronger.  Hopefully this will stand me in good stead for the highlight of this year's cycling calender; cycling from Rome to Monte Carlo in 3.5 days, not on the single speed though!
