I am going over to London next week actually! I have been looking for a better used bike for over there on eBay, as the one I have there now is similar to a heavy walmart bike, I have never really liked it and find it very difficult to ride. I've ridden over there on the quieter side streets, bike paths and along the Thames and that is about it. Anything else is like, yikes! Are kidding me!! My husband has no problem zipping in and out of traffic as he grew up there, but not me, I get off and walk it. Maybe it will be different with a better bike, but I will have no problem getting off and walking a better bike either if I don't feel comfortable in the traffic. I much prefer riding here on the back roads with very little if any vehicles around me!
