Cycling is still popular in the UK. In some small cities
with large student population, such as Cambridge and Oxford,
bicycles are the main transport. In London, some roads are specially marked
"Bicycle Lane". But if you are not an experienced cyclist, it may not be a
good idea to try cycling in London. When you park your bicycle,
always make sure that you lock both the
frame and the wheels to a secure object.
In most cities, you can hire bicycles for one or several days for
£2-8 per day.
The Bikepark in central London offer comprehensive services to cyclists
(bike hire, repair, left luggage, bicycle route maps, accessories, even a
shower!).
