Black cab and a bike?

[rich p]

I'm told that they will often take a bike across town. I need to get from Victoria to Euston.
Anyone had any experience of this?

 

[Maenchi]

I got in a cab once with my bike not in London but in Sheffield, I didn't think he'd stop but he did, it was really cold and I was utterly frozen..

You can do but it is not that far to cycle between them.

 

[Adam4868]

Doubt youll have a problem,as long as your bike wasnt filthy.

 

[jonnysnorocket]

Absolutely no problem

 

[Markymark]

Why not cycle? Really not that far or do you have other stuff to carry?

This. It would probably take longer in a cab! Can't be much more than a couple of miles?

Across Euston Road, south past British Museum, South to Long Acre, west to Trafalgar square, the Mall and south to Victoria... but maybe it's not the OP's bike or a suitable size to ride.

That'll do fine for the return leg, but the OP is going north.

Been there, done that, no problems.

I've never had a problem getting picked up the few times I've had problems too far from home to walk. And I'd think it's probably got even easier now, what with the pressure black cabs must be under from uber.

It would definitely take longer in a cab. Euston to Victoria is pretty much downhill all the way.

ETA: just noticed it's the other way round, Victoria to Euston, so that's uphill all the way...

So Victoria to Euston must be uphill all the way

Not only that but you’d be in the company of some of the best riders in the world. I just hope the OP isn’t too ugly to bring down the average.

He could go via Essex around your manor and bring up the average though
