Default Hello London Commuters

Looks like I will be joining those who cross London each and every day.

Any tips on the North Circular and Hanger Lane - prospect scares me a little but is far better than the car alternative!

Would someone like to move this into Biking Issues. I think it's more suited there.

Just imagine a Mad Max scenario and you'll be very close. They really are out to get you, so take enormous care (and then some).

I think Dan is more than a little familiar with the tarmac around there

Take it easy until you get used to it, especially in the wet
Lookout for the speed cameras as well

Or maybe Soho Massive ?

Idle banter seems to be turning more into a London section every day

used to do it from Ealing (Hanwell) to Loughton Essex, right round the 406 to the m11 and back again...

Can be pretty ****ty but there is some benefit in practising close control etc.. If I can do it anyone can
