yeah, I used to live in Shoreditch (before it was cool) and commute by bicycle to Queenway 90% of the way on the canal. It was brilliant and not many people seemed to do it at the time. I did have some pretty hairy experience cycling around London however (was almost squeezed between 2 double-deckers once, not to mention black cabs!). Its not the most bike friendly, but this was all before the Olympics...
