London is an amazing city, with almost too much to see and do, and is great for cyclists. Bike lanes are everywhere and are fairly easy to navigate once you're familiar with a few landmarks. Once you've figured them out, you join thousands of other cyclists, from all walks of life, on a network of routes that winds its way all over the city.
Just don't make the mistake of veering off the bike lanes. While drivers are generally polite and follow the rules, those black cabs will run you down if you get in their way!
Tabloid huckster, Trafalgar Square.
The tallest Ferris wheel in Europe, the London Eye.
Here I am, in full tourist mode, posing in front of Buckingham Palace.
Victoria Tower and Gardens, Westminster Palace (Houses of Parliament).
London is very green. There are large parks scattered throughout the city. You can find quiet peace just about anytime, anywhere.
Happy her helmet is cooler than mine.
A convenient way for us to get into London earlier each day, and have more time to look around, was to take the train. We found this out after cycling a few 60 mile (round-trip) days.
