OTTILIE<br />
Please introduce yourself<br />
I‘m Ottilie and I‘m a teacher in London.<br />
My commute takes roughly 35 minutes,<br />
through the busy streets of central London.<br />
I commute every day, no matter the weather.<br />
My bike is pretty standard, but I added a rack<br />
for my panniers and lights for winter. Apart<br />
from that, I like it just the way it is.<br />
What‘s in your pack for a typical ride?<br />
I usually take just the one pannier with some<br />
textbooks, my marking, a couple of pens and<br />
my purse. I also take a packed lunch and<br />
a thermos full of coffee. If I‘m going food<br />
shopping, I‘ll take both panniers to have a bit<br />
more room.<br />
Are you optimistic or pessimistic when<br />
packing?<br />
I‘m an optimist, so I definitely prefer to pack<br />
light. If it‘s boiling, I sometimes wear cycling<br />
shorts and change at work, but that‘s about<br />
the only clothing change I make.<br />
