Anyone here think this will work?

Yes, although for a strictly limited set of people. However, London's got a lot of people.

Also there are parts of London not served by the underground.

Not generally in the cycle hire areas, though, which is strictly the very inner bit which by definition has most of the tubes - my nearest hire station is at Kensington Olympia, 50 minutes on public transport (the one at Vauxhall is quicker to get to, there being a direct train, but I might as well stay on the train).
It's basically useful if you're able-bodied, aged 14+ and have business that takes you to two places in inner London on the same day. If you've got kids, aren't able bodied or are coming in from outside Zone 1 it's not really for you.

The book, titled the Police Cycle Training Doctrine, also covers key skills such as how to brake, turn and avoid the kerb.

The police have long had a Roadcraft Manual, so I fail to see the difference. Surely if anyone ought to know the right way to behave on the road it's the rozzers?

telling motorist to p*** off, when we toot the horn

Because obviously you never shout anything rude at other motorists from the safety of your own vehicle? Come off the grass, this is *London* we're talking about.
