Did you even think of riding with John Bull? A bicycle tour of London is a great way to start.

I think I’d like the River Thames tour. I guess I just like rivers; after all, I’ve been near the Mississippi all my life. The River Thames tour is for small groups; and the things you’ll learn! I had no idea that a Native American Chief was buried by the banks of this waterway! The River Thames tour does include more riding on roads than some other tours; and isn’t recommended for the novice cyclist, nor for those under 12 years of age.

A good complement to the Thames tour is the Royal London Bike Tour. Another small-group ride, this one makes use of bicycle lanes and parks; and is good for a family experience. (unfortunately, no trailers for toddlers are available). See royal parks and palaces; and learn some London stories!

If you’d prefer to get out of the city, of course there are alternatives. The ride through the Eden Valley is six days of riding, with moderate to challenging climbing. You’ll roll past beautiful valleys, and enjoy quiet roads.

For E-bike enthusiasts, there’s the Cotswolds tour. It’s seven days and six nights; and with a guide, you have no need to worry about directions. You just ride! Along the way are cathedrals; mansion houses; and ancient ruins to visit.

Riding with John Bull sounds like a great  opportunity for adventure!
