Anyone want a Blackbird?

Rarely an issue on my commute. A combination of bus lanes and big open
stretches away from traffic lights - it's a dream of a commute
considering it's all zones 1 & 2. There are a couple of places where
things snarl up badly but even then I generally make better progress
than even the smallest scooter.

I'm leaning toward the king theory here.

 

sure.

When I used to commute 20 miles each way from Ponders End through
Leyton to Blackheath, quite often I managed to do it without putting
him foot down, despite the >20 sets of traffic lights on the way.

Forward planning, as you say, is the key. But try doing that along
Euston Road at 16:00. (maybe it's better now that bikes can use the
bus lanes, mind).

Also, I reckon you'd have "enjoyed" the A10 more on a 'tard than on
your gixer.

 

How?
