As I've said, London is a city of fast & aggressive biking. As opposed to my other destinations, I noticed that more people here are in actual cycling gear on fast bikes. You'll also find a strong bike messenger/fixie scene - most prevalent (in my humble observation) on the east side, aside more casual bikers taking their time, enjoying the city. We stumbled into a couple incredible shops in Shoreditch, stocked with candy colored frames, hot pink cages, colored tires & chains. Sigh, I'm sold on the fact that if I lived in a flat city I'd be on one.

Quick Shots of London
I'm hoping to get some more shots this weekend - biking in London is a whole other beast. I went for my first ride on Wednesday & was a little taken back by the speed of it all.
