Coming to the end of my first week of commuting from Paddington to Shoreditch and have been really pleasantly surprised. I was preparing for a horror show of close passes and drivers trying to kill me at every opportunity, but actually I have felt far safer than I do getting to and from the station in Reading. Moorgate is a bit hairy but otherwise it's pretty much all separated cycle routes and now I've managed to do the trip without getting lost it's about 35 mins, so no difference to the tube and considerably less stress. No doubt I've jinxed it now but a very promising start.
