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

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.

Some of us in Southwark and Lewisham Cyclists are trying to encourage cyclists who wish to move at a fairly fast pace to use the on road alternative to Surrey Canal Walk...it's a pretty narrow shared use path and some of us feel there isn't room to travel safely at most people's usual cycling speed along here at peak use times anyway....not the thread to discuss this here...will start another in a more appropriate place.....wishing all those cyclists hurt on this fast road a good recovery.
