Gravel Super Highway
Uxbridge Road? :)

It’s far too busy with hikers, dog walkers, pushchairers and horse riders to do anything else.
Not in small part the reason why I prefer to ride at early hours or away from main paths when possible. Otherwise, as stated above, the general rule is don't be a dick and share the paths.

Agreed, I ride in Epping Forest a couple of times a week and provided you go at the crack of dawn (or on a weekday evening) you can ride more or less as you like, as you'll encounter far more wildlife than people. The rest of the time, you've just gotta be considerate of other people and dial it back a bit.
There's also a slightly selfish element to it in that I love the forest – it's one of the best things about living in East London – and I don't want to cyclists to eventually get banned. But I don't understand how people don't get this. People lacking empathy? Just being straight up dicks?

Locally we have the Gravel Super Highway and if you want to go fast you have to hit the crush at dawn. Any other time it’s Partypace™️ with very occasional quickish bursts. It’s far too busy with hikers, dog walkers, pushchairers and horse riders to do anything else. It would seem this is the case unless you are on either an eMotorbike or are wearing full roadie gear and are riding a high end race bike, so pretty much the same as road riding then.
