I also drive in London and occasionally across it.
Car drivers don't see me. Which is often good as when they do they try to run me down.

Do schoolkids still have to do this: Home - Bikeability and maybe more adults should...“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
