Having just moved here from New York City, one of things I noticed in my first week of cycling in London is that it is much less obvious what the fast routes. In Manhattan there are certain avenues, like 1,2 and 9, where you can easily ride uninterrupted for 30 blocks at a steady 20 mph. Here traffic seems to be much more stop and go, but I am sure there are arteries that are faster than other roads. What are the main routes that you guys use for getting in/out of the city? One of the reasons I'd like to know is that it might influence where I look for flats.
