My Polish friend is working on High Holborn, she got a bike under bike to work, a sedate upright Pashley, but she says there's no way shed ride in London. She saw a horrible road rage near her house on the Old Kent Road, a cyclist calmly remonstrated and the driver went crazy ape bonkers at him. She says its just too frightening. The thing is, I've cycled with her in Kraków. It's not that bad, about the same as London. Just behave like a motor vehicle, hold your line, all the usual stuff. I think it's to do with perception. London just scares some people.
