• Move in start time at my Stratford job has meant me hitting crappy traffic on way from willesden.

    Started a few months back and had been doing willesden-regents park-Euston rd-City Rd-commercial st- whitechapple to stratford on CS.

    looking for alternative... today I tried finchely road- camden-canals from kings X to stratford. was shit. slow, ped confusion, aggressive cyclists on too narrow a path for shared use.

    any suggestions on a better route?

  • Without looking at a map, just going by instinct, I would ride that something like:
    Cricklewood
    West Hampstead
    Chalk Farm
    Agar Grove
    Highbury Corner or thru Canonbury
    De Beauvoir
    haggerston
    Well St
    Hackney Marshes

  • Getting to chalk farm was a nightmare this morning, school run in 4x4's west hampstead/finchley rd. was nasty. it's the east of camden/Kings X bit of London that I just don't really know, so will be getting the map out. Cheers for the suggestion!

    it's a nice distance to commute TBH, 13 miles or so each way, but it's really forcing me to address my poor bike fit issues, lower back pain from being too stretched out (drop levers on a 60cm dolan PC, even at 6foot 3, is just a stupidly long reach) so back to BRKLZ risers, nice for the back but slower and more knackering by friday. HTFU i guess...
