Does anyone have advice?

Er... you might need to be a bit more specific in order to elicit
some
information useful to you!

To tell you the truth, I was just trolling really. When there is an
excellent, but somewhat unknown, alternative to the tube, and its
strikes etc., it ought to be publicised on this newsgroup when a
strike or other disaster looms up.

I'm glad I stirred up Mizter T, all of whose advice is excellent, and
spot on.

Cycling isn't rocket science, but there are a few bits that are
counterintuitive, and of course, you wouldn't know what your "unknown
unknowns", as Donald Rumsfeld would call them, are. With the rise in
cycling, too many fluffy novices - more than you can count on your
fingers now - are getting killed, which is silly when London has the
best advice and training in the world available right now.
