ok....... had a look at the tube map and multi map.
8.5miles if ride from Stratford international, alone in bandit country, then repeat after a forest ride..... in the heat.
Or, it looks like if i drop down to Stratford station, i can get London overground to Hackney central and then swap train for overground up to Chingford, and it's all within 1-6zones and within an all day travel pass.
Here's the problem, i don't know the train times (yet) i assume a very regular service, would i have dramas taking a bike on an overground train that early on a weekend ?
I can remove the rear rack and take the bike down, tape the wheels to the frame and turn the bars, be similar size to folded pushchair/pram and in effect hand luggage.
Just removed the fixed sprocket with wrong tools and could now fit another freewheel, found a 22t to get me down to 42x22 from 42x18 or around 63gi to 52gi might have it by friday if i order tuesday, and some cx tyres.
Any pointers to train travel, or does planned route look like a goer ?
