I thoroughly enjoyed this tour with my welcoming fellow bikers and our outstanding guide, Corrine. She gave us an excellent pre-tour safety overview and made sure we all stuck together. No one was going to get lost from the group! She took us by so many of the iconic London locations, like Parliament Square, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, The Royal Horse Guards, and St. Paul’s Cathedral (to name only a handful of places we visited), but also to places that I’d heard of but had never thought to visit, like the site of William Wallace’s (think ‘Braveheart’, the movie) execution and St. Bart’s Hospital. She gave wonderful overviews of the places we saw. There was a nice coffee break at Covent Garden. I would also like to thank Corrine for her enthusiasm and care for her riders. Now, to the bikes: my fellow riders seemed to have excellent cycles while I had to quickly change my bike at the beginning due to a flat tire. Later in the tour, the bolt that held the seat in place broke and so the seat was like a swivel chair. No deal breaker. Just a suggestion for periodic maintenance and repair of bikes. Finally, I believe most everyone of average fitness could have a great time. You’ll want to be fairly confident on a bike, but don’t worry about being an Olympic-level athlete. Just go and have fun! Highly recommend.
