honestly, the fact i can ride pretty much to the center of town without touching a major road amazes me for what is something so densely populated. just a little touch of segregated shared use and some purposeful pedestrianisation and you've turned a world city into a bike friendly place.
I think this is very specific to SE London thanks to pedestrianisation of rye lane (last few days sigh), quiteway 1, surrey canal path and NCN21.
amey-
what??? they're re-opening it??????
@launchpadboi took me on your scenic route but the rye lane to the canal path is just so direct and good???? cant believe they're undoing it????
but tbf, once over tower bridge you can ride up to clissold with very little major road usage.
@platypus thank you very much i will look into this using the komoot cycle map filter to see how chilled i can get it, if you have a RWGPS/ Komoot link to dm i would very much apreciate it (goes for anyone here)

compared to manchesters approach of "skinny strip on side of big road", "shared use as in we put a bike sign occasionally but also here's a bollard every 200m" and "path where you will be mugged outside of working hours", seems to be quite intuitive. still bitter about their approach tbqh.
bikes nice, rides nice, and the chain is stretching out finally to fit the slightly worn cog. honestly lovely bike
now i finally have the right spacers/ straps for the bag and finishing touches in place, might take a few pictures in a park, is grenwhich park nice? looks quite big, can you ride a bike there?
