I'm going to be in London for 3 months...

If you want a bike while you're here, I have an old geared beater you could borrow - you'd just need a lock. PM me if you're interested.

ditto if you need a bike for a month or two i can certainly dig someting out of my shed

Thank you. I am not really looking to ride fixed while I am in London, because my city riding and skills are sub-par. I really haven't had the time to refine my skills, so if you had a single speed or any other road bike that would be cool.

have to be honest with you, you're asking about cheapness, but talking about the tube. Just use a bike and then have more money to spend on other things

The tube pass is included in my program. I am sure that I am paying for it some way, but I didn't directly pay for it. haha

check out the local graffiti? i saw some kids smashing up a car yesterday, i can ask them if they have anything to show you.

seriously welcome from another American. you will arrive just in time for our America drinks which are thursday at the Charles Dickens pub on Union St SE1 near Southwark tube 7ishpm. Even thought the tube is free for you, dont take it, its slow, crowded, and the worst experience known to man.

oh and the west coast sucks balls.

The West Coast is the Best Coast... or something like that. SF has a huge graff scene, so I would like to take some pictures to bring home. I'm going to have huge jet lag, so if I'm not to tired I'll be sure to check this out. Are the buses better to take than the tube then?

South Ken has some good museums. Science museum, V&A, natural history etc.

Yeah I was looking at a website that had many of the free museums listed. I will definitely be checking some out.

Sandwich shop on Gloucester Road for cheap food in that area. Plus noodle bar near south Ken station.

I am willing to go outside of Kensington to eat, especially if I end up getting a bike.

get a bike, get out to the drinks (see the calendar), and we'll take you around. Especially ambassidor Crash.

EVERYTHING in the UK revolves around pubs. Especially ambassidor Crash.

I'm going to try and make it out to some of them.

cheap eats in Kensington? if they're still open, then maybe the chelsea kitchen / chelsea potter??

Yeah I'll have to see when I get there. Thanks

Their is plenty of graff to see if london. Loads around east london. Sure we can take you on a lil tour when you get here. My advice would be to bring your bike with, What's stopping you?

That would be cool. I thought about bringing my bike, but I ended up selling it a couple of weeks ago. Also, I don't know if I am comfortable enough riding fixed in London, since my skills are sub-par.
