Riding Bikes in London

Submitted by Kira Frank on the 2013 spring semester study abroad program in London, England…

 

On Friday, I went on a three hour bike tour through all of London. It was fantastic! We lucked out with the weather, it was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for riding bikes. I don’t remember the last time I rode a bike, so it really was a treat. It was absolutely beautiful to ride through all of the Royal Parks, some of which included Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, and St. James’ Park. Seeing the lush green trees, the swans in the ponds, and so many people walking around with their partners, families, friends, or dogs, it was such a beautiful sight to see. We also stopped at lots of great sites such as Kensington Palace, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster Abbey. By the end of the tour it really felt like we had seen it all! What a fantastic excursion, it was a great day!
