Cycling / Mountain Biking in London, United Kingdom

With thousands of miles of roads, reaching into every corner of the Metropolitan area, London provides many opportunities for cycling. Of course, you will need to feel sufficiently confident about your cycling abilities to deal with the heavy, and sometimes hectic, traffic. Generally speaking, cycling provides a wonderful way of exploring and getting around London and it is worth noting that the numbers of cyclists in London has increased in recent years, whilst the numbers of cyclists injured has gone down.

Cycling can offer an inexpensive way of seeing all of the sights of London, without having to cope with public transport. Recent years have also seen the growth of initiatives to promote cycling in London, such as the Cycle Superhighways. Another London-wide initiative to promote cycling are the Greenways, which are safe and pleasant routes through London's many parks and woodland areas.

The Greenways will show you a different side of London, which has many parks and open spaces that are the envy of other cities. Transport for London is also actively encouraging more opportunities for hiring bicycles. Prices for hiring bicycles in London can vary between £19 and £32 per day and as little as £48 per week.
