bad that i am afraid to go out on a bike here in London .

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

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?
