Hello all, it’s Mrs Magpie here (not sure what Mr Magpie will say when he gets home from work!) but wanted to ask if any of you fine cycle folk can help me think of an alternate route for my commute? I currently ride my lovely gold, single speed bike that Mr Magpie loving made for me (you see magpies like collecting shiny things) from Stepney Green to Stratford during absolute peak rush hours and my nerves are totally shot by riding along the A11, having to tackle that stupid multilane roundabout at the blackwall tunnel N. Approach and coping with ALL the douche-bags who dive in and out of the bus lane the whole time, etc… Nightmare! If anyone knows of some better, quieter cycling roads along this way I’d be very grateful, think there are some good routes through Vic Park and along the canals, don’t mind if it takes longer, just want to feel safer! Thanks ya’ll! Xx

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
