Matt Gray | London Cycle Tour - Christmas Day 2021 @MattGrayYES | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Most shops are closed on Christmas Day in the UK, so I went out to experience what are normally the busiest areas of the city.

Answers to FAQs
🔹 Cycle infrastructure in London's a lot better than it used to be, and there are loads more cycle lanes and quieter roads designed for bikes rather than cars than there used to be. It's still nowhere near Dutch levels of cycling though. I took the opportunity to cycle down main roads rather than the cycle routes.
🔹 Cameras are:
GoPro Hero 7 Black: amzn.to/2ACdQ4u
GoPro Max 360: amzn.to/3FyS81c
🔹 My bike has electric assist (I still have to pedal) and a silly bell sound. It's a Vanmoof S2 (this isnt necessarily a recommendation).
