Riding on the other side of the street takes some getting used to. Especially the part about anticipating where the traffic is coming from.

The main thing is the volume of traffic (and the fact that a lot of UK road users treat cyclists like dirt). The UK is a crowded little island compared to the wide open expanses of Spain. Of course, how much difference from what you're used to depends on where you live in Spain, and where you're going to study in the UK!

Well I have (did) always go to Berkshire cycles for my bike equipment, they always have good advise and will let you try anything first, also a good selection of all kind of bike: berkshirecycles.comberkshirecycles.comOpen ↗
You can also get many good magazines in the UK, and unlike here in Italy they all have a good list of adverts, shops, web shops etc.Take care on main roads, car drivers think that they own the roads "we pay taxes and you do not" type attitude.
If you ever need any more advise just ask 🙂
