Too busy I always find. Don't like cycling there because of that.

You should go down about 08:00. Usually nice and quite. Just dog walkers and cyclists I find.
and I rose up, and knew that I was tired, and continued my journey

The saddle would fetch more than the bike. There's a bunch of cyclists determined to have the bike and accessories denied to them in childhood. Mavic wheels, mafac brakes, Campag record gears, Simplex chain rings, Durax cranks Stronglight headset and a Brooks saddle.
"I before E, except after C" works in most cases but there are exceptions.

I dunno if it's of interest to HGers but Sainsbury's Queen St store are selling a heavy D lock for £2.99.

I reckon it's this one http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/16mm-sh ... ys-1321994

Up the back near the bakery.
I hear the people sing.
