new bike path to avoid the Ruislip Road E
Yep, LB Ealing have done well with that new shared bike/predestrian path.
It is pretty smooth, but still unmarked, so pedestrians just wander all over it.Have you ever taken the bike route adjacent to the A40?
You have to use the footpath of the A40 to cross the canal,
(or go way into the park to find the footbridge),
then past the Four Hills,
to the little known foot/bridge over the A40 at the Target roundabout,
then along the north side of the A40 to the Polish War Memorial?
Take care here, just before the end of the filter lane for A4180 to A40 eastbound,
there is a dropped kerb/entrance to a field with steep approach & exit angles.

pedestrians just wander all over it.
Yep. But even the one near Ealing Common has peds wandering over the clearly marked/coloured bike path bit.

Yeah, it sucks. Well, the outer bit nearer Denham is ok, if noisy with traffic. But get closer to town and you're constantly looking for where to go, it's skinny, you get slowed down at junctions, etc. I prefer Uxbridge Road.
I hate slowing down, so if cycle infra slows me down, I stick to the roads.
hippy
Yeah, had a look at the route and we went out Ruislip Road, Ruislip Road E basically the A4180. It was actually pretty good last weekend but I did take the new bike path to avoid the Ruislip Road E dickheads near Greenford and maybe with the timing fewer people were out so we didn't get the usual rudeboys squeezing through the single-lane islands .
