Sort of 'news'. In Time Out magazine this week there's an article which focuses on cycling to work during the Olympics (with other pieces about walking and running).
The person who tried cycling came through Southwark, but after coming down Camberwell Grove he headed up Camberwell Rd, Walworth Rd, Elephant and Castle etc - then complained about how busy and horrible it was. Shame he didn't take the quiet, more pleasant route on the back streets and E&C bypass.
I fear the tone of the article will not help new cyclists into using the mode, only scare them. What a missed opportunity.
