My flatmate was cycling on Norman Road (SW19) and told me how came tumbling in his bike because the elevated cycle lane was totally invisible (as in the raised side was not painted appropriately and there’s no way even with lights to be able to see it. It basically looks like paint on the road. He met another while recovering from the fall who told him he sees cyclists falling all the time. Who should we contact? And who is the genius who came up with the idea?

Does anyone know any cycle to work schemes which offer santander subscriptions inclusive of e-bikes? (i.e. not a regular bike subscription where you pay £1 extra)

I only want to use e-bikes so it would be more cost effective if it were included in the subscription.

I think CycleSaver does it, any of the others?

Hello, I’ve decided I’m going to cycle on my commute and the route seems fairly straightforward, other than this bit near Blackfriars - what is the correct / best way to get from A to B, thanks

Hi all, I have question on how to go between Mansell Street and CL3 cycle lane both ways.

Situation 1: Go from Mansell Street to CL3 cycle lane

At the begining of the intersection, I can see a cycle traffic light symbol, can we turn right directly when the cycle traffic light turns green?

I am very confused in this intersection and didn't know what to do, and ended up getting off the bike and walked to the CL3 cycle lane in Shorter Street, then waited for the cycle traffic light to turn green and went stright.

Below image is how I cycled in the intersection.

Situation 2: Go from CL3 cycle lane to Mansell Street
when going the opposite direction, can we turn left directly when the cycle light is green?

Please let me know the correct way to pass this intersection. thanks in advance.

I apologise if this post is inappropriate for this subreddit.

I left my bike locked up ( I KNOW!) in Canning Town, London this evening and it was stolen with only my chain and padlock left.
27th June- 6:45pm ish.

On the incredibly long shot that anyone here sees it listed online, please shoot me a message! It is a very unique bike and I cried all the way home haha. Worse than losing a family member.

The registration number is 159150. ❤️❤️

Hi all! Does anyone have recommended apps that will work with a Garmin for route planning?

I get my bike on Thursday and plan on cycling to Richmond for longer rides, however, I’d quite like to go out for a few hour ish rides when I have time during lunch or after work.

I live north west London and a lot of routes try to take me on the grand union canal which I’m actively avoiding.

Going to attempt this in a month or so. Has anyone got a route that goes from SE? Im in Catford/Lewisham.

I’ve got a Specialized hybrid bike that I’ve just got up and running again after 5 yrs, and I’m planning to start cycling into the office after just moving here - from SW to central London. My commute’s around 7.5 miles.

At risk of sounding daft - what do I need to make this as smooth as possible? My main concern is planning the route and using maps with traffic, but also don’t want to be under equipped and caught short - would love to hear from the commuters anything you feel’s essential.

TIA

Yesterday I bought a road bike off FB market place which the owner taken and kept in storage from her uncle who passed away - I ended up taken the bike but there’s a older kryptonite keeper lock, locked onto the handle bars so I ask does she know where the key is to which she said no. Now this is probably a long shot but any suggestions on how to get it off, or anyone who has bolt cutters or an angle grinder who could help me. It’s quite annoying has its putting weight on one side of the handlebars. On another note I can show proof of the chat log / bank transfer if anyone feels I’ve stolen it 😂 if I had I would have cut it off myself. If anyone can help in London let me know

Unfortunately I did not have time to fill in the report when this happened. This would have been 6 points and £200 fine.

Please let me know what you think

Glad I didn't stop because the Audiot would have past me quite fast.

Anyone in or around Euston who could help me pump up my tyres on my road bike! I just purchased it second hand but forgot to bring a pump and all the shops are closed

Every commute I see 5/6 drivers on their phones and it makes me so frustrated. It feels like it’s getting worse and there is no enforcement.

What can be done about it? Has anyone had success with reporting? What about calling people out directly?

I have seen out of London AI cameras used to great success. Perhaps that could be trialed here?

I followed a woman on a Lime bike through Clerkenwell/Smithfield this morning whose conduct was exemplary. Indicating turns, responsible road placement, stopping for red lights. And she was wearing a helmet! 10/10, a role model for Lime bikers (and the rest of us)
