	Is London a safe place to cycle? Back to top
	70% of our tour route is exclusively for cyclists and pedestrians, this is because we cycle through parks, canals and bicycle paths. Where this is not possible we use roads that are preferred by cyclists. This being London inevitably we will sometimes use roads that are used by mainstream traffic, however we usually have two guides looking out for your safety on each tour.

	Our guides are equipped with repair kits and they are there to help you and make your tour as enjoyable as possible.
	Do you cycle in bad weather? Back to top

We monitor the weather forecast before every tour and will contact you via text to let you know if your tour is canceled
	Do you provide bicycle hire? Back to top
	Yes, We provide good quality "Trek" hybrid cycles for the tours. Trek bikes are comfortable upright-riding bikes that are great for on road and through the parks.
	Is this the right tour for me? Back to top
	Most people who enjoy a weekend ride at home will enjoy this tour, averaging 5 miles per hour this tour should suit most people of reasonable fitness. This tour is suitable for mixed abilities, for instance following lunch at Greenwich you can opt for a 50 meter ascent to the Royal Observatory and marvel at the panoramic views of the river Thames and the City of London then enjoy the descent through the Royal Park to rejoin the group, or you can simply relax and have an extended 20 minute lunch break at Greenwich itself. You decide.
