• This morning I left the house in a foul mood after a particularly attritional skirmish in the continuing Battle Of Leaving The House On Time With Two Small Children. This may or may not have contributed to my obnoxiousness when a policeman leaned out of his car window and asked if I had gone through a red at the junction of Walworth Road and Heygate Street.

    I (not so) politely informed him that I had dismounted and used the pedestrian crossing, which I assume I am entitled to do. Making that right turn (into Heygate) whilst remaining on my bike is not an experience I enjoy and I need to find a better route like the one suggested a few pages back...

    Rest of commute was dry and fine.

  • Instead of Walworth Road, ride along Portland Street in parallel. It's more or less the main cycle route up to town from those parts. Slow down where it crosses East Street market. There's a nice cycle link between Brandon Road and Rodney Place.
