Saw this earlier. The Newham Greenway will be closed by Thames Water for 3 years. There's no mention of who is closing it or for how long on the signs. The proposed detour is going to kill people and the council is silent.

Never pick the quiet exit at Stratford platform 11, it only goes to busier platforms, and in the other direction, the busy exit you avoided.

A benefit of cancelling paid cloud services is finding this clip in my Google Photos totally by accident. I was able to take stills and use image search to find the title Maryada Ramanna. #cycling #selfhosted

Hi Will, are you aware of the imminent 3 year closure of the busiest section of the Newham Greenway? Are you happy that the A112 will be the diversion with no plans to make it safer?

Bluesky scammers are out there, looking at the replies, they follow you and wait for a follow-back, then send dodgy links via chat. I'm just happily blocking anyone following huge numbers while posting a handful of times.

My first impression is that Rois Miah is dodgy, green heading but not a Green candidate.

Walking from Clapton station yesterday I was met head on by a SUV cutting the corner of Southwold road, these curbs are needed everywhere. #Hackney

I see they are expecting horse traffic at Silvertown. 😉

I'm wondering if that's an AI written piece from FB, I've not heard the "horse bend" myth in connection with Blackwall before. Here's the explanation for Rotherhithe. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotherh...

The current design for HS2 trains appears to have bike storage that doesn't require lifting the bike, has space for straight handlebars, and secures the bike at the front and back. Lets hope the DfT doesn't tell them to cram in more seats.

C22 is closed for the next three years from Stratford to Plaistow, you need to remove it from the TfL map. Funding for safe diversions will save lives. Please don't wait for people to die like in Holborn.

The pavement on the corner of Bridge Rd and High St is tiny, so I'll admit, I sometimes salmon and am very careful taking the corner. Weekend cyclists sometime shout at me for going the wrong way, it's always men on road bikes with all the gear. 😁

I used Abbey Rd once, it was enough. I have noticed widening of the path from Pool Street to Carpenters Rd, which will help. Marked in orange. Yellow being my current route to avoid the Greenway.

I have planned for this. Because there is no way I'm using West Ham Lane etc. Not a great route as it uses alleyways and pavements where necessary.

There it is... I will not be handing my identity to a US company.
This means I will see a filtered view of Bluesky without content deemed risky by an automated system, if it gets boring I'll 'do something less boring instead'.

This is the life. Bike by my side, snacks, warm weather and the wind in the trees just about covering the car noise.
