I can very strongly recommend bikehub - both the website ( http://routes.bikehub.co.uk/ ) and the app. Excellent cycle routing with options for speed versus traffic density, user maintained by a strong community of cyclists via the openstreetmap data, and if you use the app you can use your phone GPS for voice based satnav (so you don't need to take your eyes off the road while you go).

Incidentally, this is my route : http://routes.bikehub.co.uk/journey/40629861/#fastest (I go the fastest out of the three options provided here)

Which I have slowly revised over time to give me a route largely devoid of traffic.

Several roads which are closed to cards, and through a park or two here and there.

Here's my route from this morning : http://www.strava.com/activities/138759957

Takes me 20-25 mins, so would just be another 5 over to holborn at the end.


Edit: I leave at 7am every morning from Friern Road and am more than happy to show you the route I take if you like. You should arrive before 8 even with the extra up to Holborn (I like time to shower and change at the office, get a coffee etc before my own 8:45am start). Feel free to drop me a message if you want to tag along.

cyclist down - RIP

Read about the dangerous proposals to redesgn the North roundabout here.....

I second Trinity Church Square and Great Suffolk Street. Trinity Church Square is particularly nice and there's sometimes something interesting going on there to break up the norm; a couple of days ago filming was going on for what I was told is the sequal to 28 days later.

    • At 00.56am on Tuesday this scrote was filmed entering our car. He had a face mask and all dark clothing however the clothing had certain distinguishing features. Perhaps someone can identify the writing on the jacket and trousers. Video clip was too large to upload so here are a few snapshots Pleased to say he went away empty handed as we leave nothing of any value in the car.
    • Highly recommend James - fixed the electric fault in our kitchen and was punctual and reasonably priced.
    • That's very very clever! Ah, ok. So I just put it in the green bin? Probably better in a black bin bag so it doesn't blow all over the street/recycling centre, but then what happens when they burn it in the black bag? And how do they "get energy from it" when it burns? Is it turned into electricity or something? I went on a tour of the recycling centre years ago, but I don't remember them talking about that! Thanks, I have far too much, it would take years! I do have two "daleks" on my allotment but I would need to store the shredded paper somewhere before using it, and I really want it out of the house. It's taking up more room than the boxes of folders did before 🤣
    • Agreed, it absolutely is, but not as easy to get these days.  We are going to Narbonne next month by train and I tried almost every permutation to avoid going to Paris, but to no avail.
