Why do I cycle in London?

"Don't do that. It is very, very dangerous," a good friend of mind tells me. "The traffic is just mad," he adds. I  agree with him. Roads are dangerous place. To cycle 18 miles to the office and another 18 miles back home is a daunting task.

But I already make up my mind.

Yes, it is not easy to cycle and navigate the traffic all the way from southeast to central London. However, London now has more cycle lanes and more people cycling to work. These force motorists to change their attitude.

And of course I can save money and burn excessive fat in my body in the process.
