Central London Inline Skate: Cruise Down The C3 Cycling Path In Style (#360° Video with Maps and Stats)
Please join me skating virtually (in #360°) on a popular biking commuter route “slicing” through central London, C3/CS3 - “cycling superhighway #3”. The 5.5 miles segment I used starts near Canary Wharf, and reaches Buckingham Palace passing by several landmarks including the Tower of London and Big Ben. While regarded as one of the main biking roads in London, I was disappointed to see many signs of deterioration. There are numerous improvement opportunities; as a skater, my biggest issue was the width - the path is narrow for inline skater strokes, so at times I had to compromise and thus slow down.

Notes about viewing:
- KZfaq is known to zoom in 360 videos by default; for best viewing, please zoom out (on a computer)
- Select the best resolution available for your device
- Both sections with maps and stats are “tacked away” from directional view aiming not to obstruct the virtual riding experience, and are accessible by:
-- tilting up (to the sky) for GPS maps
-- tilting down (to road & helmet) for stats such as speed, elevation
Thanks for watching!
