2008-07-24 - Rider Down, Essex Road

Essex Road is a nightmare, really freaks me out. The amount of shocking driving and cycling, redlight jumping and ped craziness down there is unbelievable.... some young pramface sees fit to push her kid out right in front of me. I express my concern at her course of action she tells me in no uncertain terms what I can do...nice.

Hah, exactly the same thing happened to me in that area too. I avoid essex road as a rule. I generally take the cycle route from the end of roseberry av to kingsland road.
