Most of them ridden by people who don’t normally cycle. And that’s possibly the worst thing about a tube strike. Commuters who usually take the tube decide to get out the bike, the helmet and the unnecessary amount of hi-viz apparel to wobble slowly, nervously and perilously through heavy traffic. Cycling in London requires a nimbleness of thought and limb that these amateurs simply do not possess. They worry and frustrate me in equal measure. I just hope all nine million of them make it home tonight, I really do.
At least nine million bicycles in London this morning.
