Sounds like an excellent idea and a large turnout is crucial if cycling is really going to be taken seriously by the politicians. I don't know what I'll be wearing, but I'll certainly look out for the T-shirt, Mamora Man.

I would certainly advocate the Lyndhurst Way/Bellenden Road route, although down Lyndhurst Way you do feel like you're riding a boneshaker the road surface is so bad. But it does beat the Dog Kennel Hill lungbuster. Going towards Waterloo I turn off Peckham Road onto Southampton Way by Oliver Goldsmith School, then right along Wells Way, then take Portland Road and Brandon Road, parallel to Walworth Road up to Elephant and Castle. The cycle routes around E+C are circuitous to say the least so I just close my eyes and take the direct route and then go along London Road and Waterloo Road. A bit complicated to start with but it feels much safer. By the way, I've found this website where you can report potholes, etc. www.fillthathole.org.uk. You identify where the offending hole is using Google maps, describe it, and then the site sends it to the relevant council, who have a duty to do something about it. We shall see.
