john,
no st pancras / euston and berwick st areas.
i used to live in london and never, ever want to repeat those 6 months of my life. i hate the place with a passion and if i could get by with never visiting the noisy, smelly, dangerous, dirty, unfriendly place ever again i would be a happy man.

i must say that most walkers don;t realise what the rules are either - they think that they are entitled to drift around in some sort of random brownian state rather than keep to the right (facing oncomming 'traffic') that way they can see a cyclist approaching, the cyclist can see them and take avoiding action. unfortunatley the prelediction for walking the wrong way whilst wearing an i-**** means that you can ring a bell, shout yourself hoarse or whatever and they'll still think the cyclist is in the wrong when they jump 9 feet sideways cos they weren;t aware of the rules or their surroundings. most cyclists have had to cope with this for years and now thanks to apathy on both sides of the fence just get where they are going as quick as possible and damn the rest of them - not nice but understandable.
i used to say the same as bob there about cyclists but now after a year of dog's, their ****, their ****ty owners, ramblers, horse riders etc. thinking i'm some sort of 2nd class road user and motorists, frankly trying to kill me (how is it my fault if they nearly pull out into me from a side road when i'm on the main road? yet i get the abuse), i am now of the attitude - i'll slow down around children and animals and ride defensively at junctions and danger spots but i'm buggered if i'm going to stop and if i have to and you are in the wrong you are getting a comment.
