Greetings from a Leyton-resident-before-it-started-to-become-gentrified-utility-cyclist.
I walk through the Olympic Village down to Stratford City most mornings and it's a very mixed demographic riding off the top of Leyton High Road down Temple Mills and through the park; I'd estimate about 20% female, about 25% commuting hoodies on mountain bikes (great to see and has increased a lot the past year) and the balance typical roadie commuters. Numbers are definitely up, though that could be because more people have discovered the route.
@coshgirl I would be love to join you but have to work Thursday evening, Peter Carter's advice is probably worth heading though...
