I've been MTBing for years but next Tuesday I'm going to get my first fixie from BLB. Now, I don't know London well but I know I need to get the tube to Bank, and then the no. 8 bus to Spitalfields.
Obviously, once I've got the bike I can't get the bus back to Bank, so I'll either have to ride or walk. I know cycling in London can be dangerous, but I'm fairly experience with road riding - just not in London. Also, with having not ridden fixed before I'm not sure how I'll cope.
Hi,
I've been MTBing for years but next Tuesday I'm going to get my first fixie from BLB. Now, I don't know London well but I know I need to get the tube to Bank, and then the no. 8 bus to Spitalfields.
Obviously, once I've got the bike I can't get the bus back to Bank, so I'll either have to ride or walk. I know cycling in London can be dangerous, but I'm fairly experience with road riding - just not in London. Also, with having not ridden fixed before I'm not sure how I'll cope.
Plus I don't know my way around London at all. :)
So what's the consensus? Walk or ride?
