Spent about 3 minutes on a nose-to-tail Hackney Road and decided to plump for the considerably longer quiet route. Discovered Columbia Rd has been pleasantly resurfaced in a cycle-friendly way and that the one-way I always used to bike-salmon now has an official cyclist contraflow lane. Hardly had to deal with any cars in the end. 5/7 would quietway again.
