Cycling in London has enjoyed a renaissance since the millennium.

This is a triumphant opening, and I don't deny their are more cyclists on Londons roads now than when I started cycling on them in the 1970's but it's pretty woeful for a lead section. WP:LS Has anyone got any statistics on the percentage of journeys by bicycle in London now in comparison to the 1930s, 1940s or 1950s? Mighty Antar (talk) 19:57, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On Road Conditions.

Cyclists "Need to stay out of the left side of the road". Whilst I take the point about accidents where cyclists are crushed against railings, this appears to be suggesting that we should all be riding in the middle of lanes at all times, which as anyone who rides a bike in London will know, is impractical most of the time and likely to result in a volley of abuse from car drivers at best. Not sure the article should include what is after all, one persons opinion on safety. (Dead celeb (talk) 18:43, 15 November 2011 (UTC))[reply]
