    because there is a very deep anti-bike culture in the UK . it is so
    bad that i am afraid to go out on a bike here in London .

    Interesting that you perceive it that way.

    I'd say that most of the fears and so on are due to a lack of familiarity.<snip>

    lets see what others think. having cycled in holland for a year i can
    say it is a pleasure apart from the bike thieves who arent out to
    spoil your fun as they will gladly sell you your bike back for a few
    pounds.
    i really cant imagine cycling in london is much fun at all.

    perhaps you need more imagination. I love cycling in London. Funnily
    enough the Dutch guy at work who commutes on a variety of impractical
    bikes (beach cruiser, brakeless butchers bike) seems to enjoy it as
    well.

    But seriously, have you tried it or are you too busy reading the daily
    mail?

    best wishes
