The Lea Bridge Road is like that becuse of the River Lea
The alternatives are Forest Road, the Eastway and the Bow Flyover...
You can avoid the latter parts by heading up to Forest Rd via Hoe Street and then Chingford ; but they are not as direct.. The Chingford route does avoid the Waterworks Roundabout.
You can also ride up to Walthamstow through the Marshes, but that's also indirect..
If you want to do a ride into Essex on a Sunday with Lea Valley then do let me know...
