Bella Velo still do a ton of women’s rides, but this is a mixed ride organised by the shop, and I am intimidated. They are communing with their wheels and the tarmac, and I’m wondering where their clothes are from. The ride is to Windsor, out through Twickenham and Bushy Park. By Prune Hill, about five miles outside Windsor, I’d had it. If I’d had to cycle home, which they were going to, I’d have done something desperate, like a carjacking.
