There are quite a few. Just hang around for a while and you'll "meet" them.

I am from the UK originally

I'm from portsmouth UK, when i went to London a couple of weeks ago i couldn't believe the number of cyclists which is great. Where are you from Andyuk?

Hi all, I'm in the wilds of Oxfordshire, and excited about getting back on the bike (tourer) after a long break.

I'm from NW London.

Yes, it seems that the congestion charging has increased our numbers. When I first came to the UK and started riding to work I seemed there was not as many people. Now I get stuck in bike jams at intersections and pathway bottle necks. But I'm not complaining. Rather more bikes than cars anyday.

I'd love to see that. When I lived there, I used to commute to London occasionally (I lived in Horsham). I hated it, one of the most unnerving cities I've ever ridden in, on account of those narrow roads and all the "pedestrial barriers" at all the intersections that cram me up against busses and taxis. Ugh. I just can't imagine something as odd as cycle traffic jams in london! I haven't been in London since the congestion charge started. Hope it's better now than I remember it. Enjoy!

As for the original question: Just hang around and you'll find Brits and ex-pats lurking around. Watch for odd language clues as well.

Just cuz my location says Paris doesn't mean I'm a Frenchie :D Zut alors, un rosbif en France? Mais oui!

Hi,

I'm from Leicestershire and on the Veloriders site :)

Hello,
I am for NW London, Edgware and riding in London is not really that bad. There are plenty of back street to avoid heavy traffic. Suppose since I haved taxied in London and know it like the back of my hand it helps.

Hi, I'm from Lichfield in Staffordshire, originally from Hertfordshire, via many different places.

I just couldn't be without my bike

How's the riding in the English countryside?

yep! and the A68 and.... well any other N.E. Road you care to mention this year, at least.....

The hills are still there! and more like "Jordans Tits" than a Witches. lol.

Take care of yourself in the U.S. Are you there for the duration or heading back to good old Geordy land any time soon?

Still coming out of the woodwork, I'm in Milton Keynes, loads of varied rides 5-10 minutes and your out onto undulating country roads, 15-20 minutes into the pine forest with loads of challenging mountain bike routes, and to cap it all hundreds of miles of red-way ( off road ) cycle paths throughout the city, great for commuting social or family rides, a cyclists paradise.

[B]hi there

Hi Andy

I have just registered, living just to the east of London. I am mainly a touring cyclist but do some fairly serious road work too.

I tour in both the UK and europe, how about you?

Hi there! I am in Suffolk...only been here about 6 months but...I love it! (Originally from California)

Hi all, I'm new to the forum, live in Fife, Scotland and am into lightweight camping/touring mostly in the hotter parts of France. This because I'm very,very old and have very dodgy knees. Regards, George.

cycle sarah, which bit of Suffolk? Ipswich, Colchester, Bury?

Born in Scarborough, Yorkshire, now living in Toronto. Strange thing: I work in Scarborough, Ontario. That's okay, Toronto used to be called York.

Hi there! We are in Lakenheath...so just about 20 mins or so from Bury. Lovely riding out here so far! Where abouts are you?

Not sure I count. I live in London on Parson's Green, but I'm from Texas. Just moved here in September, so I get lost pretty regularly. Any advice as to group rides in and around town would be greatly appreciated. Should be said that my bike was stolen a couple of weeks ago and I won't be back on two wheels until March or so, but I'll be looking for rides then.

Cheers,

CJ

Yep, I'm from UK too !!
