Have you considered riding it?

This is probably a very silly question, but i thought i'd make sure!

Not silly at all. Yes I thought of it but not having ridden a bicycle
for 25 years I thought perhaps it would be a bad idea. I have only
done a few miles in the last week. I have decided not to take the
bike this trip which is tomorrow now. I will have luggage with me.
My next trip next month I will only have a small backpack and will
have got my cycling confidence back I hope :-)

I think you'd be pleasantly surprised with yourself.

I'd agree strongly, especially since there is an excellent route for you -
the grand union canal towpath will get you all the way to Paddington, i
think, then you can use the Seven Stations cycle route to get to Euston.
The former is completely traffic-free; the latter is quite busy, but has
good cycle lanes.

Still, i understand entirely that it's not something you'd want to do
without having cycled in so long. Do have a go next time, though - cycling
shows you the city in a completely different light.
