That invention was useless and uncomfortable ground for laughter and ridicule from ordinary citizens. In those days it was difficult to imagine that over the years, this popular utility vehicle, ideal for walking would be converted into half mass for new and spirited riders.

Hoops of wood or iron, girls or big wheels, pedalines, pedals, spokes of wood or wire, they were over time some of the innovations that were received in the course of its evolution until Hans Renold, a Swiss who invented the chain and this will solve all the problems that had presented at that time. Added to this invention, was the contribution made by Scotsman John Boyd Dunlop, who devised the rubber wheel from a garden hose inflated. This virtuous circle would be completed by the invention of the bicycle frame truncated designed for women, followed by folding the'60s, the career, there are now tables with special alloys that become much more lightweight, aerodynamic and resilient, the mountain bike, lightweight, with modifications to adapt easily to different types of mountain terrain, and finally, the bike-Cross, this small bike with 20 inch wheels that currently make up a sport.

Again in the subway, we're going to London Bridge. This working area, with factories of Victorian houses in Borough market, if there is an English capital of good food, this is. The best chef in the country, Jaime Oliver, is competing to supply its regular stock. The multiple options, all delights, ranging from a simple sandwich made with turkey empanadas Until crop bioterrorism. A sector for each specialty: organic products, organic foods, the corner of gourmet wild game. His well-earned reputation led him to the movies with "Bridget Jones's Diary and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban."

Somewhat more relaxed, we will stop at third Silver Vaults, which is located at Chancery Lane. The small place is just 37 premises, which is more intimate multitudinous, seen not as the crow flies awake interest. But it is good to know this market, is home to the oldest collection of silver and the world. Antique English, are proud to say that if not there, not there. Center table, candlesticks, jewelry. Rioja finest ever dreamed to see.

Sunday cosmopolitan

Those who are passionate about racing, here is your chance. The street fair more lively and cosmopolitan city is organized by immigrants from Bangladesh, old books, Indian saris, leather clothes second-hand items that are useless, kitchen, Asian products and leather mingle with the most common naturally.

Escaping from both hubbub, we headed towards the flavors that emerge from the Columbia Road, paradise flowers in London, Old Street Station.

The first had not yet discovered, they are interested in photographing the Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus, 10 Downing Street and Leicester Square, where the discovered regretted not having done so before.

Again in mass markets, we arrived at Camden Town station (same name) in the north of the city. Those music lovers will have a visit hedonic between vinyl, collectors' findings, the last scene of the latest electronics, together with the eternal recycling of culture beat.

Punk, also lives on in Camden: tribes claiming the aesthetics of the Sex Pistols, will tour the area. Since closing our weekend shopping, artwork, jewelry, crafts, and original designs.
