Ok, well I'm new to this so I hope I'm not being presumptuous in any way. I know we don't have dreamy village lanes but hey, I just love bus dodging and juggernaut curving, love using those pretty blue lanes ...wonder what they're for mmm? Which bridge shall I cross today on my way to work, London, Tower, Waterloo ?
So fellow Londoners who are you & what's going on here?
erm...London is not (in my opinion) making the best of a bad situation, it's an amazing place and sharing the commute with a panoply of other riders is a gift. BELIEVE
erm I never said you were "making the best of a bad situation"
I said "your taking what you have and making it fun"
so many people forget what is on their own door step.
I use Tower bridge quite a lot for work. But wasn't fully aware of the speed cameras. Yes there are warning signs for 20 mph speed limit and signs for cameras. After an inattentive moment, I received a speeding ticket through the post for 26mph . Best not to do that too often. Waterloo bridge is nice
It would be good to get other people on here from London and the surounding area for meet up's and ride outs. Please post if you want to get things moving
I take Tower Bridge mostly, yes the 20mph is difficult. If I ride with one hand I tend to stick to it but that's not always appropriate. Filtering is tricky too because of the dodgy crevices along the centre of the road. I love the way the tower changes hue depending upon the sun.

I love London, not always the best place to ride or drive but the people, the clubs; ( the blues kitchen, borderline, 100 club and the lexington to name only a few, wouldn't change it for the world only to bring back the docks and those bustling markets like Billingsgate which sadly isn't the same anymore. still love it.....
I quite often drive to the city early in the morning (in my van because bike can't carry equipment) and on occasions I use London bridge. Many times the early morning light which shines from Tower bridge looks fantastic. The bridge takes on different appearances according to the light conditions
Green wave red wave ????????????? Do you mean traffic lights? If so the one's on the Old Kent Road do your head in, anyway, good for slow control practice.
Going through the Angel is a place I don't enjoy, it's 2 wheeled engines v 2 wheeled no engines...what are those people on? Any place for road courtesy?
Come on you Londoners, I know the biking population of London is < 3.
Thanks, Inspector Gadget. Blimey, I didn't think Borderline was still running. London is becoming increasingly homogenised in terms of shopping despite it's increasingly unhomogenised population. Multinationalism urgh . But still got lots of lovely markets like Bethnal Green, Brixton, Blackheath etc. Lots of nice independent coffee shops although they don't always make nice coffee. And yes always SOMETHING going on. Problem is when ur single you don't get out as much...oh God, that sounds bad but I'm not editing it.
Here is a link to a film of London in 1927. You can see all the major landmarks. I love it
