    90% of London cyclists give the rest a bad name, no doubt about it. Either away with the fairies on a boris bike or acting like their in Le Tour trying to beat everything else home.

      I also drive in London and occasionally across it.
      Pedestrians don't care. They are enemy number one for me when I cycle.

      Car drivers don't see me. Which is often good as when they do they try to run me down.

      Taxi drivers are superb. So are bus drivers.

      HGV have so little visibility. But why do they only kill women? I am perplexed. Usually it is men who are reckless.

        Roads in London are clogged for cars. It is quicker by bike. Car drivers are jealous.

          It wasn't the Tour de France its a ride not a race.

          One assumes they brought the Gels with them so they can take them home.
          Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

            I tend not to drive in central London unless I have to. It's the cyclists from a pedestrians point of view. As big a p.i.t.a. as tourists.

              I feel the same about pedestrians. They just jump in front of bikes assuming they will stop. Or without looking. When it is the cyclists right of way.

              If a bike hits a pedestrian the cyclist will get hurt.

                Have you ever ridden on Canary Wharf? Different breed on there.

                  When I was at school everyone who cycled had to do the Cycle Proficiency Test (I even still have my badge and certificate somewhere.) 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.

                    Not on the tower! But I currently work at the wharf and commute by bike every day. I have worked in the city and Belgravia before and cycled to/from home to those.

                    I still have to get through Greenwich/Blackheath/Lee/A20 and that is dangerous.
