Send In The Clowns

I do enjoy a good old bike ride, well being such an expert that's not really surprising. It's a real pity this years Tour Of Cricklewood got dumped as I think not only was I a dead cert to win the King Of The Mountains, but I may have had a shot at the yellow jersey too. Anyway it didn't happen, but the organisers are hoping for better luck in 2007, but they'll have to tweak the rules first, I suspect the Shoot a guy wearing a towel on his head stage may well be taken out.
So this morning it was onto my Mossad designed Titanium racer and off to Bethnal Green and the Bagel Bake. I don't know how often any of you visit the area, but it really is becoming the sort of place Oxfam could shoot a video in after some sort of natural disaster and save a few dinaris on air fares. Of course with my background I'm more concerned they'll find out who I really am and next time they'll be a roadside bomb waiting for me. Didn't happen today though, and I whizzed up to Brick Lane and chained my bike to the railings outside Ali's Cafe. I don't normally stroll down the Lane, but today I thought I'd give it a look. Lot's of leather shops so I suspect there is a strong gay community in the area. Lot's of Curry houses too. Never seen the attraction in Curry myself, I've had it a couple of times, and if my reaction is anything to go by, no wonder the bastards are so skinny. In fact I found the whole place pretty depressing, so I was quite relieved to pick up my Bagels and get out of there.
I always try to get nice hot Bagels, and I cycle back here in record time to enjoy them at their best. I'm told there are Bagel places nearer to me, but I still have a weakness for the old East End, and besides I'm keeping a promise I made to Ronnie and Reggie to make sure the Brick Lane Bagel Bake maintains it standards.
