I did the London to Brighton this year after about 15 years off and one of the most enjoyable bits was riding to the start line with loads of other cyclists coming from every direction and thru the streets of London..
The thought of riding thru the capital in the morning rush hour with loads of other cyclists really appeals to me. I`d love to do it as just a one off..
What do you think? I think ppl will say I`m crazy and that I have a death wish

When there's a big group of cyclists, it's a lot more fun, as you get that sense of dominating the road. On any other day, well, it's just a commute, and a pretty frustrating one at that.0

Nothing wrong with cycling in London. I did it having not cycled since I was a teenager. You just have to be aware and expect the worst from drivers.
It's good fun, far nicer than cycling along a boring straight road.0 -

Riding in London is awful. OK it's better than a boring straight road but that's a bit like saying a Big Mac is far nicer than eating woodchip, isn't it?- - - - - - - - - -

Do it. Try to do it in peak hours as there are many more cyclists on the road. I particularly like the peloton at CS8 as it sets off from the traffic lights with everyone jostling for position.
I put off riding in the capital for the 10 years that I lived there as I was too scared, and now as I commuter I cycle everyday and am loving it!0
