This is our destination. The lovely new segregated cycle lanes to Blackfriars and beyond. Our "secret route" to the segregation takes us through two parks, a traffic-calmed residential backstreet, the pavement cycle lanes on the New Kent Road, the E&C bypass and the Dutch-style cycle lanes. We leave Nunhead Station at 8am and Peckham Rye […]
