I cycle from ED to the City. It takes me (in the warmer months only) about 20-25mins. Its 6 miles and very enjoyable. Hate buses though, I have been crushed into barriers on several occasions on the Old Kent Rd and Tower Bridge. Also, is it me or does every pedestrian in Peckham Rye push the idiot button in there brain around 5-5.30pm. I have had so many people walk out in front of me and on two occasions two different women have pushed there prams/buggies straight into my bike. They didnt even look, a bus could have been coming and they wouldnt have noticed very scary. One knocked me off, and then blamed me and said I could have killed her child!! Me, on the Road for Cars/buses and Bikes, her walking off a pavement without looking, madness.
