We understand that tourists often have concerns about cycling safety in a major, bustling metropolis like London. Our perspective is that cycling in London, particularly when guided by our team, is comparable in safety to walking on the pavement. This assertion is based on the significant safety measures we implement and the continuous improvements in the city's infrastructure 

A key advantage of joining our tours is the presence of our experienced tour guides. Our guides are intimately familiar with London's streets, traffic patterns, and potential hazards. They actively look out for situations and obstacles that a visitor unfamiliar with the city might not notice, thus preemptively mitigating danger.

Mandatory Safety Gear and Pre-tour safety briefing. To ensure the highest level of safety for our clients, we insist that all participants wear a cycle helmet. This is a non-negotiable safety protocol designed to provide an extra layer of protection. While we must be realistic—we cannot guarantee that a bicycle will never fall over—we are absolutely committed to leading your group safely and responsibly through the city. We think cycling is an exceptionally rewarding and safe way to navigate London, offering a unique and intimate view of the capital. Thanks to London's expanding network of cycleways and quieter back streets, you can cover more ground than walking while remaining outdoors and immersed in the city's lively atmosphere.
Our tours prioritise these safe corridors and back streets. When it is necessary to cross a main road to connect parts of our route, these sections are managed with extreme caution and clear guidance from our experienced leaders, that might require a short dismount and walk.

With our expert guidance and the city's improved cycling infrastructure, tourists can confidently and safely enjoy exploring London on two wheels.
