[QUOTE="RuthW, post: 970569, member: 148713"] I rode in London for about thirty years (though not non-stop, obviously ;) ). I was impressed by how generous most car drivers are. Plus cycle shops sell helmets and great maps with suggested routes. Also, there was research into the effects of pollution on cyclists years ago, and it showed that cyclists have fewer pollutants from car fumes in their blood stream than car drivers do. Apparently, because your blood circulation is faster, you eliminate them quicker, but you don't actually breathe in any more than people sitting in cars do. I'm not saying you should cycle if you don't want to, though. Just that the pollution is not really a big factor. I did once get hit by someone who hadn't seen me, but I had seen her and was taking evasive action so I only got a wet bum from landing in a puddle. [/QUOTE]
