Beating allergies when cycling
Well, it's tough out on the streets of London at the moment. The London Plane trees are at their fluffiest and the air is filled with torturous little fibers.
Now if you are an hayfever sufferer like I am, you will hate days like these. Particularly because they are usually accompanied by glorious sunshine and cloudless skies. However, let me share with you a little secret of what not to do when you forget your sunglasses at home...
Don't resort to wearing your swimming goggles!
My advice is to turn around as soon as you notice you've forgetten them and never make a poor substitute. By the way, when it's hot the goggles steam up faster than you can blink.
