A couple of things to add:<br /><br />There will be lots of coaches, so make sure you're safe and pass them with a wide berth. <br /><br />People are liable to step out from between parked vehicles and walk in bike lanes, and tourists often look the wrong way when they're crossing the road. If you don't have a bike bell, now might be a good time to get one!<br /><br />New cyclists are wobbly. Give them space and be nice. We were all beginners once!<br /><br />You may have to walk through some of the worst congestion or to avoid diversions/road closures. Drivers seem to ignore lights, ped crossings and yellow boxes when the congestion gets bad, so walking can be easier than trying to weave through!lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04516483442612121049noreply@blogger.com
