1st-time London visitors seek fun, culture and bikes.

I think you're well placed in Stockwell if you're doing London on bikes.

Stockwell's very much my daily rolling territory. I love it as part of a zone including Camberwell, Clapham, Brixton, Vauxhall Bridge (and all that lies beyond (Westminster and famous London is just over the river - West drinks is about 9 miles)), Battersea Park and OF COURSE, most significantly of all, it's no more than two or three miles to London's notorious South Drinks.

And as edscoble says, how wrong can you go with Brixton Cycles on your doorstep?

Sounds good! I'm excited to check out the local bike shops. Does Brixton Cycles carry Condor? I want to check out that wild steel track frame they make. I think they call it the "Paris?" And can somebody please centrally list the locations, days and times of all the drinks get-togethers? We want to try to make it out to at least one.
