I do fear that my bicycling style doesn't fit London.

Amsterdammers are bastards on their bike, and I'm guilty as sin.

I'm in the habit to cut off cars that I consider to be in my way. That attitude may not work in London.

Or only work when I stick to the right side in stead of that strange English traffic direction.

It wont. You'll get ploughed through, screamed at or both.

I didn't realise Bingo was illegal over there. Relaxed on cannabis, heavy on the bingo? There's something wrong there. My Gran woulda set up a dodgy bingo night, she loved it and was unstoppable.

Rickshaws are the same over here. Lethal if you're in one, pain in the arse otherwise. Cycle lanes here aint what they are over there. Nice idea though. Here, drivers are the bastards. You have to be to get anywhere in town. Try the bus rather than tube? You'll see nothing but armpits and arseholes on the tube. Least on the top deck of a bus you can have a look around. You'll prolly do more walking than anything though.

That link you can't get working is in my first post. Free Museums.

Is it save to conclude that traffic in London merely is a game of survival and competition of being the biggest assh**

I did get my mind set on the Boris Bikes, and I'm pretty stubborn. Not always a very serving character trait, but unfortunately, I'm to stubborn to change it.

The bus is actually a very good idea.

And I'm facebook friends with Time Out London now.

I really hope that I get paid soon, because then I will def. go to Ronnie Scots.

Thanks for that tip, I'm convinced that will make my visit one to remember!

Have fun.

i love the cycling culture in the netherlands, but no matter how confident you are cycling in london is not for the faint hearted! the drivers hate cyclists! even the emergency services make no allowances & will have you off.. of course plenty of people cycle, but cannot imagine it's very enjoyable.

plus you have to negotiate the other side of the road wwhhahaaa!!

if you cycle then you are fit!.. all the sites are within walking distance & the tube is easy

london has a great vibe & so much to see that won't cost a penny

are you a bowie fan? there is an exhibition planned but it isn't free

does your coach terminate at victoria? there is a tourist information centre which will give you a good map & lots of suggestions

& i saw this http://www.hostelworld.co...-in-london

hope it's all that you hope, have a fab time!
