Welcome

Kingsbury's a quick drop down to the canal but yes its the alperton route i guess....it's really quick into west, you can be in acton / chiswick /notting hill in no time with no traffic....i emigrated n/east years ago i'm afraid but if you need a helping hand around town/east/north give me a shout

That's a brillant tip, and serves me right for not looking at any bike routes (in my defense I havent got my bike yet :P) Thanks, will investigate that one, I believe I know which one you're on about, it passes Park Royal/Harlesden, to ladbroke etc
