South London cycling progress

Tagged:  •  

We've been making progress on cycling routes and facilities in south London:

Cycle parking, Wandle Trail and LCN 22 screenshots

I've been putting cycle parking in on my route to & from work. My technique is pretty simplistic - memorise the positions of three or four as I cycle through, then quickly stick them in when I arrive! There are absolutely loads, though, in Streatham so it's going to look quite cluttered when I'm done.

The Wandle trail was mostly mapped by others but I cycled down it about a month ago to fill in some gaps and improve the actual River Wandle in places. The same goes for route 22 in the London Cycle Network, I've done it all from Peckham Rye Common up to Old Kent Road and now I see somebody has finished it up to the river.

All in all, south London is starting to fill out nicely. I'm just having trouble motivating myself to do any significant mapping lately, especially when it means going on a bit of a mission through a dirty noisy city to follow a poorly signposted cycle route!
