I’ve just started cycling for the first time as an adult and was so scared to cycle in London cause I thought I use roads would all be so busy. My boyfriend sent me your videos and they made me feel a lot better about cycling on quiet ways! Thank you, anything around camberwell or peckham always appreciated 😊

What a fantastic route! Incredible how picturesque the city can be when you aren't surrounded by cars

Amazing coincidence to see my neighbour's car at 12:12 parked over in Hackney.

These videos make me so glad that I live in the Netherlands, zero route planning necessary. I do like seeing how Hackney compares to the rest of London because I've heard a lot of good things about the place in terms of bikeability. And I like the road markings for wayfinding; we don't have those and they seem very helpful.

That's brilliant. I wish I had found this before I biked to my Airbnb in Walthamstow in August on a little rental Brompton, I used the canal towpath which was very narrow and busy to Broadway Market, poor surface and access points etc to near London Fields, though the rest of your route was really familiar. But if your priority is zero traffic and happy to keep stopping for dogs and joggers, the towpath, regents row and Broadway Market to London Fields are a good compromise.

Neat! I rode the Leabridge route for the 1st time last year and it was fine really.

I did this yesterday.The cycle tracks in Walthamstow are great.

The camera stability is ♥ Thanks for your videos!

Can't tell you how helpful this is, thanks for making it.

this camera is so much better. i think image stabilisation is a must-have for cycling videos

Very cool

Very useful for someone just starting out cycling around the city. Thanks for making these videos. And dunno whom told you you’re mispronouncing De Beauvoir, everyone says it the original way you did. Sounds like a middle class person wanting to make it sound more trendy

Very helpful. An alternative to Lea Bridge Road is north through Walthamstow Marshes and Coppermill Lane.

These videos are a fantastic way to view London whether you cycle or not.

Excellent video. The difference to the neighbourhood in Waltham Forest is stunning.

It’s looking so much smoother with your new set-up. Blue sky, sun, and people walking and on bikes. 👍🏼

Great content, keep it up!

Great video!

This is brilliant work mate. Well done.

Fantastic video and really shows just how good Waltham Forest and Lea Bridge Road in particular is for cycling. I would love to see more videos showcasing the infrastructure there even if they’re not all that useful in actually directing people around London 😂. On a more serious note, this video is really useful for when I eventually get round to seeing the mini-Holland scheme in person

I really enjoyed this my friend, major thumbs up and totally subscribing

Brilliant video and engaging and useful commentary - keep up the good work!

Thanks so much for this! I'm learning to cycle as an adult and seeing this makes me feel a lot more comfortable about trying to go places in London in my bike :)

Another brilliant video, thank you! On the invitation to suggest future episodes. It would be great to have one on North-South quiet routes connecting West and South West London. Cycled from Tooting to Ladbroke Grove the other day and was pretty intense (apart from Brompton Cemetery)

Thanks for your comment on pedestrian priority in London Fields. I wish all cyclists could be as considerate! The second path you refer to though is shared between pedestrians and cyclists, on the left and right sides respectively. They do tend to wander onto the bike side though, especially on market days! Anyway. Thanks for the vid. Liked and subbed.

7:36 so many people!!

I concur with your routing here, although do suggest one minor/pedantic difference. When cycling on Colebrook Row I turn right early before the Q2 signage, at 3:40 (Vincent Terrace), then left onto Danbury Street. I find it's nicer to cycle as you can see the canal for a brief moment and get to cycle over the small bridge, and also it is easier to not miss this right turn off of Colebrook since you have all the trees/the canal as a visual cue. Keep up the good work with these videos, they are brilliant. I only wish they existed when I first moved here and had to figure this all out on my own!

Brilliant! Really great intuitive route and so little traffic in comparison to the roads, however, you're letting the side down with traffic violations at 2:18, 3:43, 11:27 and 16:04 despite mentioning at 14:27 to "obey the signals". I appreciate there's cars doing naughty things like at 10:40 but I do like how you emphasise being nice to pedestrians like at 7:58. As a pedestrian I've had countless encounters and near hits on Judd Street with those cyclists who go straight through red lights and plough zebras, but generally you're a great cyclist and pretty fast too! Thank you

Thanks mate. Just waiting for stock on the decathlon triban rc500 flat bar road bike so i too can ride on those routes

Excellent video, as is the one between Walthamstow and the city. I was looking for something to help a less experienced cyclist and this does the job very well. I commuted this way off and on between 1990 and 2013, and you use many of the sub-routes I worked out then (using LCC and later TfL guides). It's good to see that improvements have been made which fix some of the problems with my routes. Your route is also vastly better than what I got as a 'Cyclestreets quiet route' because it cuts out the majority of the 'very busy sections' without actually adding much to the time. Shame that Middleton Road still seems problematic. I have had a number of scary experiences in the dip, mostly going in the opposite direction. Fortunately Beauvoir Town is very calming.

It's worth noting that for a much slower and relaxed way to get from King's Cross to Lea Bridge, you could just follow the canal. Very much slower and sometimes quite crowded, but a very different side to London.

I’m new to the channel and really loving the content! Could you possibly look into doing some routes from Bromley into central London/east London? Thank you!

Similar to the one I've used for year. But much better to go via hackney downs and Sandringham rd

Hey, loving the videos, can you do Greenwich to Old Street/Shoreditch and West Ham to Old Street at some point please?

I envy boroughs who have more than a painted line on the road as cycle infrastructure.

New camera is a good improvement! Would you be able to share as well, on some format, the GPS route? Just to add it to cycling computer and follow indications :) Thanks!

Can you do Chiswick to upper regent st or greys inn road and shut Jeremy vine up once and for all

Hi , nice vlog ! what cam do you use and where do you mount it ( handle bar, helmet?)

Could you upload future videos in 4K? Even if the camera is only 1080p, KZfaq will encode it in a higher bitrate so it’ll be mess muddy

Great video question I have is what camera do you use and where do you use it Helmet or body as I have a gopro did use it on Helmet but found it uncomfortable please advise

What camera are you using and how do you have it mounted to your bike?

Wow, I know that London still has a long way to go in terms of cycling infrastructure but this is already sooo much better than where I'm from, Sydney. You'd never see this many cyclists out around here.

How about Greenwich foot tunnel northern end to Tottenham Hale avoiding the canal path?

This seems perfect for me but is there an app which will navigate me through Q2 or is it a case of just following road signs? Thanks for your great video

Even after cycling daily in London for three years I get confused with a lot of the newer cycle crossings, paths and shared streets. Don't get me wrong I think they're great but I think an education campaign, not just for cyclists but drivers and pedestrians too, would help everyone stay a bit safer.

I was going to say that the cycle tracks in Walthamstow look awful, just like what Bexley council has done and made shared pavements without taking any priority away from cars, but they actually look pretty good. Perhaps if other councils used these terrible cycle routes and transformed them so you have priority over side roads, LTNs, and good quality paving with clear separation and actual routes, it could be an easy way to increase cycling in those areas.

Never met anyone who calls it "beaver". Simone de Beaver?

Love your video, but Middleton Road not a nice place to cycle down? The way you go on, you want all cars banned from the road. Some LTN are good, but they went overboard meaning sat navs took them on a rat run only for the council to close them as well and cause chaos elsewhere. And regards to De Beauvoir - (I am a resident), I think historically it's derived from France, ergo it will be french. It's just been 'cocknified', although I know neighbour who was say it like this. Even the buses don't. Anyway - like your video.
