The tube is a different proposition - in the rush hour, the Brommie and Mezzo come into their own...
Yeah - guess you're right. The North London Line/Silverlink is as bad as the tube around 8am - standing room only - have tried getting on with DT, but only a Mezzo would do. The first Connect to Cambridge is rather more spacious, and often I don't even bother to fold - horses for courses I guess.
But last week, when I dropped off the kids at nursery, riding 2 stops on crowded silverlink and walking a few hundred yards with bike in one hand, 1 yr old under other arm and 3yr old trailing alongside, then cycled in to work, then faced torrential rain in the evening, so ended up abandoning the ride halfway home and taking the madly crowded bus the rest of the way, I was really glad I had my Mezzo with me and not my DT.
