at peak school rush hour times i tend to go Bellenden rd (gets me every time) to avoid the prams & sheep brains. Would recommend although only problem is getting onto the canal path becomes a bit of a faff
The junction leading onto that cycle path on rye lane also has the worst phasing i have experienced in London

I go along Rye Lane every day and yes, it is pretty much the inferno of ambling-around-in-the highway, boxes of fish, etc, you describe.
Having said all that, a lot of the people on bikes I see then go on to ride up the 'canal path' like massive and unredeemable whoppers, so honours are about even I think. I often go up Sumner Road instead.
There is a parallel route to Rye Lane but I keep getting lost on it.
