One of my dreams are to cycle in London. Early summer day, 4-5am no traffic. Cycle and familiarise with London. Explore it.
It's so nice to see so many bike lanes in a big city like London. I don't recall any of those back in the 90s when I used to cycle a lot for a few years.
From a Dutch POV i would say which bike lanes?
@@nicolethoff2920 don't compare Holland with any other country in the world 🤣
I am an experiencend Dutch cyclist but I do not dare to cycle in London.
@@nicolethoff2920 experienced Dutch cyclist? What do you mean by that? Others are worse than you?
@@Cycling.Doughnut I am used to a lot of cycling in busy places. And still i won't go cycling in London.
I think England is an incredible country, I also record in the same way here in Brazil, I started making videos recently. I'll follow you from now on, I subscribed to your channel, a big hug straight from Barbacena-MG!!😊
Fascinating! Leaving a message before watching the video entirely (but will). Great work capturing the energy in the city. Such a vibrant cycling community that I wish we had in New Orleans. The jockeying for position at traffic lights reminded me of the dance between scooters and cars in Rome, Italy back when I visited years ago.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It is enviable isn't it? Love to ride around there some day.
Noticed a CS or two last time I was in London; nice to see them in full use. As you can imagine, Glasgow's equivalent is *much* less used. I don't travel at rush-hour and it's rare to have anyone else waiting at the junctions with me. It did look quite chaotic at points, especially when mixing with pedestrians, and lack of traffic light discipline. Thanks for posting.
It's fantastic to see such great cities becoming less clogged with cars
Thanks @Alex Golubovs , it's a real gift to travel with you through London.
I come in few months by bike and I can't deny I'm a bit afraid about the intense bike traffic 😧 !
My favourite city combined with my favourite hobby. I am a happy girl
Very beautiful footage
Many thanks
Good video. Waiting for the day that London will ban cars completely from the city center.
Thanks for watching. Waiting for the day when we’ll have decent cycling lanes in other parts of London too.
The rate it is going, you might not have to wait that long. I can't understand how anybody can afford to drive a car in London. I guess they negotiate good deals with their employers or something.
@@phoffen3829 negotiate good deals? u think every person in uk gets a car from their boss? don't think so, their are so many cities in europe that buy their own cars like for example here in Copenhagen its a really bike friendly city i myself bike here as well, but their are people that still drive to and from work and to pick up their kids from school, they all buy their cars, theirs no such thing as a good deal or free car from a company hell no, nobody got time to spend all that money on a person driving around all day.
Hate to say it though if they can't make revenue from cars the next thing they'll do is make it mandatory to register your bicycle. They'll argue that it will help fight bike theft and will help maintain cycle lanes etc. It will apply to anyone 18 and above and probably start at £10 per year and then lo and behold it starts going up every year. Sorry for the conspiracy theory and doom and gloom approach but I can see it happen. Like everyone else I love cycling, just don't want to see it ruined for a quick penny.
@@UncleDavey They're not going to do that. It's already difficult to enforce current registration for cars.
excellent
Great video! Absolutely love the angle and the tonality of the colors! Would you mind sharing how you mount the GoPro and how you adjusted the colors?
I see the difference between cycling in Netherlands and London. IN Amsterdam they ride much slower with city bikes, while London is mostly rode bikes with faster travel speed.
Big fan of your work and excited to notice there's an upload after 7 months! Are there any means I can support by donation?
Thanks for watching. You can support the channel by sharing. Appreciated!
35 minutes from King's Cross to Victoria Gate, via Houses or Parliament is not bad. The direct route would have taken half that time.
21:59 it resembles a Dutch bike lane a bit
Really enjoy your channel. Do you not use music on purpose?
Moving to London from Chicago next month. Wanting to know how good the bike infra is across zones. I will be around zone 2 and 3. I do 20 mile bike rides here and want to continue that after my move as well.
Hey mate, you should be fine and you can find a map of the cycle super highways with a quick Google search. You can of course use other cycle lanes and the bus lanes are also open for bicycles to use, which is great to use as there is less vehicles using the bus lane. Generally you’ll be okay cycling on normal roads anyways, just keep alert and make your intentions clear and you should be fine :)
how you finding riding this side of the pond? been accosted by any Addison lee drivers yet?
keep an eye on a youtube channel called "london cycle routes" he uploads regulary with maps etc.
man, out in the midwest, I can easily attain 18-22mph averages throughout my morning commute ride on open roads. I like that bikes have places to go here, but ironically it's way too small. The one time adding more lanes would actually help lol.
The bike lane (bi-directional) should be about 4-4.5 meters wide, it looks to be about 3-3.5 meters wide in most places.
The width of lanes doesn't help, but the main issue is sequencing of lights. Look how much waiting at reds there is in this video. I used to commute 10 miles into London from the 'burbs before all this infrastructure was built and could generally manage around an 18mph *overall* average, occasionally pushing 20. I never jumped reds then or now, there were just fewer of them then. Now there's no chance whether you use the cycle lanes or ignore them and dice with traffic. 15-16 mph *moving* average is all that's achievable these days (by me, anyway!)
21:57 the guy saying sorry 😕
Kapan jakarta seperti ini
31:10😨
The city looks so clean but some cyclists don't obey traffic light and they ride dangerously.
Meanwhile cars killing 5 a day 😅
so do some drivers
The majority of these is starting on red lights not an excuse but you can see the cross traffic lights change and vehicles stop, plus there is a pause between changes so not as dangerous as it seems as you just get moving no hard motorised acceleration.
Your cycling is poor - closely overtaking other cyclists, weaving through traffic carelessly and jumping red lights.
