Didn't you know? SW London has banned the use of all pedal cycles since the case of Jackson vs. Prenderghast. Once a cycle was proved to have used the same road as Jackson's BMW X5, thereby, in the judge's eyes, slowing the X5's forward progress, they were banned from most SW boroughs. There's a map on TFL's website outlining where you are allowed to ride but it's pretty much killed the scene there. We all know know the decision was ridiculous and there's a petition to have the ruling overturned: http://www.southwestridersrights.org.uk. Please do add your name to the list. Once we have 5000 cyclists we have the right to appeal this crazy decision.
