A few days before the Olympics I need to cycle from Kings X to Ilford and back. I'm struggling to find much online to tell me what this might be like, apart from that all Londoners will apparently be required to eat only MacDonalds and drink only Coca-cola for the duration.
Will the blue route cycle lane between Mile End and Bow be closed/buggered up? Is there new signage for "VIPs Only" lanes? Will these lanes be in force by the Wednesday before the games? Do I count as a VIP? Will the Bow roundabout/flyover be worse than usual? Have they actually finished building Stratford yet and will that be any worse than usual?
The most relevant-looking pages of the TFL website Cannot Be Found, and living so far from London I've no idea if they’ve been broadcasting Do Not Travel or the air attack warning on local news for weeks. I’ve done the route plenty of times but just don’t know if I need to allow an extra three hours or something this time so I don’t miss my train.
Does anyone know what to expect, or can use the fucking search better than me?
