This is an example of how you end up with areas of London with a higher percentage of people driving as a result of the public transport options being a bit disjointed. Hopefully good safe cycle routes like this will encourage more people to get out of their cars.

Another beautiful route.

Parts of outer London are absolutely quicker on bike due to the lack of transport links. Most of central London is quicker on bike because of traffic and congestion. Its though fiddley areas between zones 2-4 that are quicker on public transport usually.

Brilliant to see just how much cycling infrastructure their now is in west London. Looking forward to more.

After entering Southfield Recreation Ground, it is quicker to turn left and cross Southfield Road into Bonheur Road. Then left into Brookfield Road. At end turn right into The Avenue, second left into Whellock Road and then into Abinger Road. Where Abinger Road meets Bath Road turn left and then right into Prebend Gardens to rejoin the Chiswick High Road.

Do a video of major tourist points of London using small lanes and cycle lanes!

7:43 perfect timing! Thoroughly enjoyed this one also. I think you should do a separate tutorial video on GoPro settings because, as a GoPro newbie, my Hero 12 videos are somehow not as good as yours 😞.

I love this!!!

@7:07 this is where you go from LB Hounslow (with their fancy side road crossings) to LB H&F (with their cheap and nasty side road crossings) ! There's a couple of side road with lovely old huge trees which make it hard for drivers to see cyclists - so take special care with those junctions.

Thames Water road works - at least that shows a commitment to solving an issue. In Kent, 12 months on from a chalk cliff collapse we have a main road closed; diverted traffic; neighbourhoods blighted by traffic noise, tailbacks and road rage; years of litigation ahead; no local or central government funding identified for the remedial works; businesses laying off staff; protracted negotiations for Kent CC engineers to access the neighbouring land just to assess the current position; and no prospect of the road re-opening any time soon.

Also I made a note of where the most collisions happen in this area and on CS9 it’s the junction of CHR and Duke Road, CHR and Brackley Road and King St and Weltje Road. Be careful folks. Lot of cars just completely ignore the cycle lane

FYI there is a cycle crossing planned from C49 to C9 but it will be further east from where you crossed at Fishers Lane and will be at Windmill Rd. A formal crossing at Fishers Lane wasn’t practical because of the bus stop, plus Fishers Lane is one way at the junction as you mention. It will be the same route except taking a left from Fishers Lane to Chiswick Common Rd for Windmill Rd.

Thank you so much for your work! Long time watcher but only starting to get out on some of these routes now the weather is (kind of) getting better! Any thoughts on The Green Link Walk ?

Thanks

If you notice on both ends of Hammersmith bridge there's now security guards ( you can see them in your video ) they're there to stop delivery mopeds trying to cross the bridge.

@8:08 this is the H&F town hall building site - and they could really do with some extra bollards to protect cyclists in this section

So many people skip the lights at 6:55. Cars really turn into that road at a fair speed. Best to just wait for the lights.

Its mad that you mention the map here because i was just thinking about how useful it would be to have one about 20 minutes ago before i sat down and saw this video, how long has that been around?

What camera do you use? Do you invent your own routes or see what Google maps recommends?

I live in Forest Hill in Ltewisham. I want to do a ride around london without going inside the ULEZ zone. On my bike of course.

I used to have a bike, when I was a kid and then the roads started to get more and more dangerous and I really thought that cycling, as a thing, was becoming a thing that would radically reduce the lifespan of cyclists. Seeing these videos makes me realise that there are large parts of London, where that is being reversed. I think the next big threat to cyclists (over and above being struck and injured or killed by motorists) is the damage caused by breathing in tail pipe emissions. And the expansion of the ULEZ is starting to deal with that, by pushing motorists to reduce the use of the most polluting vehicles in London. It is however, a real shame that lobbyists are trying to push back against the ULEZ and remove the right of the people of London to have clean air. I do hope that the people of London elect a new Mayor who commits to retaining the ULEZ, as well as committing to continue to push local councils into expanding their cycling networks. I also hope that we can move towards a future where there is much better signage for the sort of routes that you show. I have, in the past, used bus shelter maps to navigate around parts of London by foot. I don't think there is anything in place that allows non-local cyclists to figure out the sort of routes you take. Your routes are awesome, but they are also not necessarily intuitive.

Given how quiet that road is, the bus lane is totally unnecessary. They could remove that and install better cycling infrastructure instead
