• Has different commute for next 2 weeks, involves Vauxhall, tries new cycle paths for first time this morning – HOW THE SHIT DO YOU GET FROM SOUTH LAMBETH ROAD TO ALBERT EMBANKMENT FFS! Confusing mess, ridiculously narrow cycle paths, pedestrians squeezed by cycle paths, still so much space given over to three-lane roads...

  • Yeah, it's nuts, I tend to just turn left onto Parry St and follow the road around staying in the middle lane. All motorists been quite nice and left me plenty of space or stayed behind, but it'd be nice to not have to dice with death.

  • Yep, may as well just stay on the roads. When I previously had this commute it used to be a simple case of going through the bus tunnel (S. Lambeth Place, I think), not sure if that's still an option though...

    Upside: by the time I'd made it onto Albert Embankment yesterday some bloke at the lights said my bike was a cool colour. Which I took as a win.
