Can you not ride on the A40 (Hanger lane to Edgware road)? I always go on it thinking I can. If not why not?
From wikipedia: "Opening in July 1970, Westway was designated A40(M). Retaining its hard shoulders and including both four-lane and six-lane sections, it still resembles a motorway. In 2000, when responsibility for trunk roads in Greater London was transferred from the Highways Agency to the Greater London Authority, Westway lost its motorway status."
Oh, I'm not a westie, I assumed the elevated/flyover bits of the A40 were off-limits. Legal or not, it's a bit grim :/
I bailed off an approach bridge (Ranelagh Br I think) years ago when I realised I was about to join it, but looking on streetview I can't see any signs restricting bikes.
hoefla
