There is one little trick to avoid being fined by Transport for London...

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/tfl-london-transport-motoring-compliance-b1183387.html

TfL’s income from fining drivers on major roads jumps 57% in five years

The AA has accused the transport authority of ensuring London’s streets are ‘paved with fines’.

@velobetty @spacehobo @linnefaulk and then you head to the county / state drop down and need to figure out if it's London, Greater London, or your local council.

I don't think people from other places understand the hassle of living in the UK when you're filling a form out online!

Like, is it UK, United Kingdom, Great Britain, England, you're scrolling up and down trying to find what it might be!

@javicruche @[email protected] If you haven't done it already, find a local bike shop where they can give you advice on kit to buy and take your bike for maintenance. Make sure they have the knowledge but they are not patronising.

It's easier to do it when you ride in a group. Check local clubs and see how friendly they are. You are going to spend hours with them so it's important to get along with them.
