London, here I come

And for those who drinks, you can bring you own booze there!

marmite....the best food product that was ever concived..and a by-product of beer, what more could you want??

i just realized that this discussion is for that american guy to learn stuff about london,all hes learnt is how londoners are touchy about there food...haaa

Hah no worries we argue about which Taqueria has the best super wet burritos all the time. ...Maybe thats different. Thats a lot of posts by the way, i think i read them all so far. Thanks everyone for chipping in your two cents.

Ill be in London for a grand total of five days, flying into LHR mid-morning on the 11th and moving out on the 16. If anyones available any of those days let me know. Oh and the bike that ill have is an 05 pista concept. Annnd im 5 8 so i dont think im in danger of Spanish tourists in florence. Thanks for the heads up anyhow.

pub it is...

reminds me of mr yakkimoto from mr jolly lives next door

"and another old english drinking establishment"

we should do a tour de gourmet one weekend cycling combined with a competitive eating competition

any good mexicans in london ? when i was working over in the us of a we used to order nice burritos from chipoltes ( until i discovered they were a mcdonalds franchise stopped eating them there after ) but that was a nice bit of food guacomole steak hot chilli sauce rice re fried beans the only real good one i found was on leather lane street market but it was pricey

Hah thats cool honestly im not lookin for great ethnic food in london. Im not from the mid-west or anything. If you have it im good for it, but id hate to miss my chance at really really english cooking.

Hey whats your guys experience with bikes on public transportation round UK and Europe? Ill be taking a train from london to paris to florence and then to frankfurt, so im wondering whats the best thing to do with the bike.

i think le car knows about stuff like that....where are you staying when your here?

Cool. Sheraton Park Tower Hotel.

i assume you're taking Eurostar to Paris. If so, you'll need a bike bag but they won't charge for it. If you have a folding bike bag then you can ride to the station and then bag the bike before going onto the train. Not too sure about the trains around Europe but it should be possible (maybe by booking ahead) to put in a luggage car or something without taking it apart. If you have a bike bag with you then that is a good back up.

Someone posted this for me the other day. It explains UK trains + bikes:

On the euostar I know you have to have your bike in a case like when you fly, you can't just prop them up some where.
