2014-06-04 - Rider Down - Old Kent Road

If this is the wrong place, I apologise, but to the folks who cycle old kent road - try using the CycleStreets app to find alternatives. I've been able to cut Old Kent out of my London commute entirely, except for crossing it at a junction.

To the cyclist, I hope and pray you're ok, whomever you may be.

From SE London (Bromley) look up Eddystone Road and go over footbridge and head towards Peckham Rye - through Rye Lane, Surrey Canal Walk. Cycle route (signed) leads across OKR and takes you to Tower Bridge Road. Pretty quiet and avoid OKR - I reckon its as quick if not quicker. Main roads = traffic signals and traffic, quieter roads = pretty consistent journey time.

Thanks - hate Old Kent Road, for the pollution + getting buzzed close by fast cars, so glad to hear of any alternatives.

Ilderton Road - Gallerywall Road - Southwark Park Road - Grange Road - Long Lane - Southwark Street - Stamford Street looks solid.
