Roll on Boris's bikes - then the tyranous traffic will have to take notice of us beleagured bikers ( or cowering cyclists for that matter)

Why a Thursday?Us over 50s still have to earn a living.

But cycling is easy in London, because the parks practically join up, and the residential back streets are quiet and pretty. Just plan your route using shortcuts, parks, alleys, towpaths and residential areas.

I can't make it but I hope that you run others that I can join. Sounds great and as a total fan of cycling but totally scared of getting on a bike in London due to traffic and a fear of flesh hitting metal, I do not attempt pedal power, but wish that I could.
