I hate that Route B is better than Route A. It absolutely shouldn't be: Route B is Holloway Road, Balls Pond Road, Graham Road, Mare Street and Morning Lane.
Route A follows a Quiet Route. But there are two problems with it: the speed bumps are not remotely bike-friendly - they should be smooth for riding over, or speed cushions for cyclists to navigate around; and some of the cycling on the Quiet Route is genuinely stickier than the driving on Holloway / Balls Pond... and that is quite the accolade.
Btw: happy to have alternatives suggested for Kentish Town -- Olympic Park.
