• I'm trying to make a route to our office for a friend who has only just started riding and isn't very confident on the road yet. I live SE so don't know these roads super well, does anyone have comments / improvements to this route to make it more beginner friendly?

  • Why not go along the canal? Personally I'm not a huge fan as you have to go pretty slowly but it's a good beginner route.

  • She's riding a Pashley tricycle which is pretty wide so canal paths are off limits.

  • I wouldn't recommend the relevant section for a beginner. You get a lot of speeding by other riders, and it's very busy at commuting hours--although I haven't been down there since the first lockdown, and it may well have changed. New riders I've talked to recently found the bridges particularly hairy.

    Edit: Yes, and with a tricycle it's definitely not a good idea.
