My GF (not a confident cyclist, nor even a typical 'London cyclist') wants to cycle from her home in Mudchute to Peckham regularly. I used to do this route(ish) and know a couple of options.
Option 1 is too busy and scary for her. Option 2 is frankly too much of a hill given that she is a novice cyclist and has a ~20kg dutch bike.
Can anyone suggest a better option than simply telling her to tough it out and walk when the hill is too steep?
