| Bikes for hire – and they're not cheap. In fact, it's really dangerous cycling in London. Best, in fact, to get the tube or walk, as I was doing when I spotted these bikes. |
We ride our trusty bicycles most weekends. This blog charts our adventures and records our thoughts as we ride through the rural lanes of Surrey and Northern Kent – and there's some world travel thrown in too
Similar to the Veleb bike in Paris? We have thenm in Melbourne too, but you have to wear a helmet etc etc and this can make them less spontaneous to use!
ReplyDeleteIt's a good idea but London traffic is very dangerous. I used to cycle from Sutton (12 miles out of central London) into Camden in North London and it was a nightmare ride.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine. Riding on the roads here is a nightmare too. driveers have little regard for bikers. I recall London trsffic was pretty "solid"
ReplyDeleteYes, and it can't do you any good either. I remember having one of those face masks, but I think that was the fad of the time, masks or those bandido face scarves. Either way I looked a right nonce. I was riding the Marin Bear Valley SE at the time, nice bike.
