I don't live in London, but I'm interested in acquiring a stationary bike to do cardio at home. Does anyone have recommendations?
Get a Peloton with a financing deal, hope either they or the underwriter collapse shortly after. Free bike.
Has this ever worked? Surely the administrator would just sell the debt at a discount (for them, not you).
It would be interesting to see how road space is also allocated between these 2 modes. I don’t know much about the City of London (I do know that it’s not the same thing as the city of London), so I’m curious if others with more knowledge can share some information.

We are the cyclists, the intermediate stage between humans and pure energy. https://youtu.be/1s0XsulDXtk
Looking at the chart, it appears that "motorists" is separate from "taxis". I wonder which bucket Uber falls into.
Nice, I wonder if they are back using internal hubs (like old 3 speeds) or derailleurs ? The internal hubs like they used 50+ years ago were a better design for rainy weather than derailleurs. With that said, I can guess most are using single speed. Hopefully not fixed :)
Presumably that means on a nice summers day the numbers are even higher.
This is of course countered by the fact the City of London is becoming increasingly hard to navigate in a motor vehicle. There's a proliferation of camera-enforced road closures and turning restrictions which, along with the congestion charge and very high parking charges make driving anywhere near the City only really possible for the very rich. It's long been the case that the majority of vehicles in the City (or anywhere in central London really) are taxis and commercial vehicles. It's great that cycling is increasing, but it's probably at the expense of train travel rather than driving - I don't think I've ever met anyone who works in central London who drives to work regularly.
One peculiarity of the way the City of London is managed is that it has its own local government. Maybe with this evidence that cycling is important they'll finally invest some money into their cycle infrastructure - you can essentially see the dividing line between the City and Islington just by looking at the quality of the road surface.
