Take it steady riding in London, Ive been riding for seven years…
and London has taught me more in 6 months than any of that, road safe skills, defensive riding skills, and quick draw fooook you finger skills
Hello again, and thanks for your welcome!My main riding will be on the A1 as I work in Hatfield and live in Harrow, and maybe the occasional visit in central London.
I am sure riding in London will teach me a lot! It did for my car driving. However, being from Greece, I must say car driving is much much much better and safer here compared to Greece. I think the opposite applies for bikes simply because people here dont seem very aware of them. In Greece you expect a motorcycle to appear out of nowhere simply because so many move around, and your actions usually (not always) take the existence of bikes into account. This is not the case in London, and I find that people drive around as if only cars (and those - sometimes - annoying bicycles) are on the streets…
So, I read the newbies meet at the Ace Cafe? This is so cool, I am definately joining the next meet!
