Harrow Road is cycling Sarlacc - i don't see many on it (I drop to white city from Crouch End, via Camden, Swiss, Kilburn, lil venice, Harrow Road etc)
It's got fuck loads of lorrys, the main route for all north and north west london busses and the home to 78% of all Blue stickered Previas. 60% of the cars are driven without license and insurance, with 98% of those having beaded seat covers.
in the last year I have yet to complete a journey along it without having to swerve around a car pulling out from the side roads, and the road surface is so shit you envy the hoardes of full suspension drug pusher rides bumping around on the pavements.
Still i take it religously cause it's fast as fuck. the second fastest is past notting hill but for me that's a shit to get to and in the summer far too much skirt to not be wearing blinkers.
and all the bits in the middle are full or junctions, bumps and flat capped pricks, but a nice route home pissed as there are plenty of stops.
There you go: what the A to Z didn't tell you
