  • Great video as always šŸ™‚ If folks get lost do tell them they can always ask a policeman! Even normal Londoners are helpful after they get over the shock of being spoken to like a human being šŸ™‚

    I love Boris Bikes too but I am always a bit nervous about cycling without a helmet (they are not provided) so, if I can, I try to take my own around – a bit of a pain but better safe than sorry!

      Thank you Simon! Hehe about the shock šŸ˜‰ And yes I completely agree about the Boris Bikes, when I ride my own bike around I always wear a helmet so I do get quite nervous on busy streets on the BBikes, hence my motherly “be safe” comments. Thanks for watching!
