Do you have a favourite/nightmare place to ride in London?

Hate: tooting, the city or anywhere where peds step out without looking. And streatham (although i've not been thought there properly for a while... but seen it recently and didn't look like anything had changed) basically the roads are exactly the right width for cars with not quite enough room for cyclists to get past...

Love: any road that's got a bus lane in... perfect for going past loads of stationary traffic! :-)

heh thats what I do coming in, got it off to a fine art now, just going back south is a bit of a bitch, actually thinking about it I always get hit by the next set of lights after that. Where the traffic coming from Lambeth North direction comes round.

I love those sets of lights, heading north, getting the speed right between oval and the next set of ligths to have a bit of momentum and then caning it to the next set of light which change just before you get to them unless you really sprint...
