    Hi there,

    Knowing the price of a monthly tube tiket (£85 / 90) I'm wondering if I shouldn't buy a bike instead. I nearly never make sports but it starts becoming a need (I have to eliminate all this beer...).
    I don't know where I gonna live in the city for the moment (I arrive in the middle of June), but if it's in zone 2, do you think it would be realistic ?

    Is it dangerous to ride a bike in London ?

    Thanks

    Yes, zone 2 is fine to go to zone 1. You just need to get used to the traffic (and maybe avoid roads with heavy traffic). However London is not really biker-friendly.
