I can't find a thread on organised cycle tours of London. There are quite a few operators now. I can't remember which one was first. You occasionally come across these groups in Central London, and I have to say that I have witnessed problematic riding, as not surprisingly the skills of those who take up such tours will vary quite a lot.

Anyway, this thread was prompted by this news:

Obviously, riding around London is by far the best way of seeing it if you are a tourist, but it's not an activity without problems.

Lol, can we use that reasoning to ban cars at rush hour too?

Oliver Schick in reply to @Eejit

No, because cars don't merely mildly inconvenience people but despite their obvious advantages are very harmful in many ways in dense cities, and they're also much better-established, so many people don't dare get as angry about them, especially as many use them themselves.
