Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and Alps Trip

[nick crisp]

Asking because a friend went to Scotland and London this summer and said he just couldn't get used to the traffic - for the whole 2 weeks he was there. Cycling and renting a car, no motorcycle though. Had to make conscious effort to look at the "wrong" way first, even when crossing a street. 

Scotland?! Ffs, don't let him ride anywhere near London!

For parking - I always stop in 1st gear, then turn the bike off by putting the kick stand down. That way I'm sure it's not in neutral and the kill switch works, in case I forget to lift up the kick stand when starting. Being one of the most absent minded people I know - always make "procedures" so I don't mess up. 

You can bet that's a habit I am trying to reinforce. Usually do it anyway, but for some reason, didn't this time  :\

Seems you had great weather and those sceneries look lovely. 
Scratches to your bike are cosmetic and will always remind you of a great trip - unless you bother to polish and paint them. 

Weather has been great - a bit too hot if anything, 35deg.
