Fair play to you Londoners that cycle in the city. I had to cycle there recently during rush hour and I thought it was truly ghastly.
Filthy, crowded, manic, idiots on every mode of transport. Not for me.

That's cos you don't know the roads, innit? Plenty of shortcuts and safer routes, but takes time to learn 'em.

I was being led by some locals. Having just done LEJOG we stopped at a set of lights and both of them almost in unison said...
"We need to leave this place" (albeit using slightly more colourful language)
Like I say, fair play to you, but I thought it was grim. The smell of the polution... horrible.

We could stand at the side of the road with gun.....
Rapha shorts - BANG
Fixie - BANG
Lycra - BANG
You get the idea
why do you want to shoot me? my fixed gear bike(with front brake) rapha jersey and lycra (only worn for longer rides not commuting) haven't done anything to you? i don't jump red lights or cycle like a prick. why should i be lumped in with those cretins?
seen plenty of idiots on cheap mtb's pulling similar moves and coming off worse, shall i include all you mtb'ers on here with the same tosspot cyclist label?
i sometimes think this forum is part of a daily mail conspiracy wanting to cleanse middle England of it's undesirable mores and to direct it's moral compass to the placid waters of mediocrity and conformity.

I have no sense of smell so I'm ok.
You think it's bad here; never ever try to cycle in Manhattan.

Yeah, it's not for whiny little softies.

Ahh... so I need to take a blow to the head and lose my sense of smell to make me big and tough and make London cycling tolerable.

to be fair he doesn't really 'ride off not caring'. more limps to side with funked up front wheel. total fanny

Yep. Idiot. Not sure he deserves to die but really, what a prat. Get some brakes, and judge gaps better.

Sense of smell lost due to sinus infection. Blow to head only improved mental capacity.

No, you need to MTFU. You ponce.

When I started riding in London I likened it to white water canoeing - flow, solid obstacles, uncomfortable if you got it wrong etc.
I used to the spend the weekend riding around town, playing with cars, learning roads and learning to read drivers. In all that time, Ive NEVER had a scare on a london street. Never risked a t-bone, never hit a ped, but always made good progress and surprisingly enough always obey red lights
I still think of it as a sport as much as a way of getting to work.
The only thing I dont understand is why on such a beautiful morning as today, some people ride to work like they want to get there quickly.....!
