HI! I bought a bicycle. It is so gorgeous:

I took it to Victoria Park to have a little practice run on, then cycled up Regent's Canal and god it was so so so so lovely. But I've not properly cycled on a road yet. I'm really really scared. Who cycles here? What advice can you give me to stop being such a baby and cycle with the big cars and buses? And what are some lovely routes/places to cycle in/to?
