You'd be better off starting a thread in "commuting" you'll get plenty of help and suggestions.Okay what about cycling for 14 miles there and back, in the day and night in London? Can anyone give me tips for this part other than high vis clothing and lights?

but for starters (and this is all mostly in the guide)
communicate with drivers .
Observation, use plenty of rear obs in particular (some say every 20 seconds)
Clear and predictable moves.
Take a strong and clear position and thank those you hold up in doing so (communication really)
Eat bannanas
Use wet lube
Wear glasses
Carry or wear overshoes
I have to say it is full of common sense regarding cycling around traffic. My biggest piece of advice for cyclist, and I cycle in both rural and Urban conditions would be to Be Seen. I never ever ever ever go anywhere on my bike with out Hi viz reflective coat. And Flashing LED on the back of the bike. Day Night winter Summer it does not matter. Be seen is the biggest and best thing. Further more I recommend that do not keep too far in on left on small or narrow roads. That are going slowly anyway. Take up the space of a car so that cannot pass you. Believe me they will squeeze you out and try to get past when there is no room. So make up their minds for them keep out
