I'm Jae, and this little fellow is Dave. I'm far too old to be telling, whereas Dave however is 4.5 months old.
Where do you live / ride to?
We live in Bermondsey and tend to use the bike to get around the local area; in Bermondsey and along the river.
A 1972 Fuji racing bike rebuilt by Foffa with Brooks bars, saddle and a Dorothy-esque basket.
How often do you ride?
Every couple of days.
Helmet or no helmet?No helmet.
What's your primary reason for cycling?
Getting from A to B, and avoiding public transport.
Least favourite aspect of cycling?
Major road junctions and idiot pedestrians wearing iPods, or just idiot peds not paying attention stepping into the road. I'm not a huge fan of lorries either. Everyone has the potential to walk or drive in front of you; do what you have to do to keep yourself safe.
Most favourite aspect of cycling?
For Dave, it's the wind in his ears. For me, it's a nice, pleasurable way to see the world.
What advice would you give to an aspiring cyclist thinking of riding in London for the first time?
Own the road!

I can't resist. "Hi, Jae. And your little dog, too!"
:D
I know, he's a very cool dog is he not? :o) I've decided I want a dog on my bike and I'm going to train him to bark at taxi drivers!
