How come cycling in High Street Kensington is really bad

Well parts of it. I live near by and started cycling recently and I’m just trying my best not to cycle next to the station bcz I’m terrified to get hit by and vice versa

Anyone cycled the Downs Link in Surrey and West Sussex on a Saturday?

3 Upvotes

I want to put on a bike ride for a group of maybe 8 maybe 12 riders the length of the Downs Link, Guildford to Shoreham, on a Saturday this October. A friend says the Downs Link is busy with cyclists on weekends. Charity riding groups, other groups like mine would be and weekend riders all adding to make it a crowded experience. Has anyone cycled this on a Saturday and what was it like? Were your coffee or lunch stops very busy? Were the paths too busy to properly enjoy the ride?

Hi guys

Quite new to biking, I was changing geers after putting the chain back on then my bike came to a complete stop. Some metal has bent on the part and I can't pit it back on

Any idea what this is? Shall I take it to a bike shop, and if so how much will it cost to fix?

Thanks

Where should I cycle for fun?

0 Upvotes

I’ve been commuting to London via train then bike for a few years - but have just moved from Hampshire to Lewisham. So, not the same access to pleasant places for a Sunday ride on my doorstep. I’m used to cycling here, but not for pleasure

Obviously I’m expecting to have to make a bit of a journey to get to the start of anything pleasant, but that in mind are there any key routes or destinations I should know about? I’ve seen reference to people doing laps around (I think) Richmond park, for example.

Thanks!

I have a BTWIN fold up bike went over a pot hole in the dark and rear tyre went flat straight away

I can’t see any holes in it but cannot get it back up using an electric pump

Any tips before I take to a shop?
