Though it does help if you remember to put your feet on the ground when you stop. Avoiding bollards is always a sound strategy too.

I love London, never grow tired of being a tourist in my own city.

A few of my photos ...

A trip round the four lanes of traffic on Hammermith Broadway quite clears the mind. Alcohol tends to give a firm idea of the correct trajectory when you launch. Adrenaline helps with the rest of the brief trip before you dip into the side roads.

I love london by bike. by car or bus or tub you can poke it.

when I flew back in last week at 20.30 and it was lit up and you could see christmas lights it was great.

riding round looking at the same is also great.

in fact I may well pop onto the 29 Dec thread and sign up

I was there researching my geneology in the British Library in St Pancras on my Motorbike a few months ago

I'm quite surprised they didn't ask you to park the bike outside

Kaboom-tish

I paid for secure parking in St Pancras station. Next time, I'll drive to my sisters in St Albans and tube/train there.. London is hateful even on a PTW.

A scene from another age like time stood still. Nowadays bikes have derailers and gears and things and the fog's quite Dickensian too.

I'm liking the bike taken at an angle, kind of adds to the perspective of the bridges.

Very clever, or had it just fallen over?

[QUOTE 2824627, member: 1314"]On purpose innit. Though it did accidentally fall over in my garden at 6.30am and scuffed the brooks. Grrrrr.[/quote]

That's not a scuff, it's patina - makes the object more valuable.

Do you Londoners enjoy paying nearly £4 a pint? Up here it is £2.70 to £3

 

[RedRider]

You can get a decent pint for £3 in Central London, no problem. I even met the lad from Tadcaster who brews it.
