#31625, nearby

Cycle leaning against a post, probably because no other cycle parking in the area. The informational sign labours at length why swimming is not allowed in the dock, yet in the background an open water swimming event, sponsored by British Ga ... [more]

This sign has been 'edited' presumably to remove a no. In the background are swmmers in Royal Victoria Dock, and a Spiller's Millennnium Mill is on the right Taken from the bridge across victoria dock, which has 80 steps, and a lift.

It looks like this used to be a route, but its overgrown and strewn with litter now so it has probably been abandoned.

#29739, nearby

A dead end!

#29738, nearby

Sadly the Greenway is closed here and there's a rather awkward and hard to find diversionary route round - that took us through the Olympic construction site.

#29732, nearby

The Greenway - a disused railway line - see #29722 for opening times. This looks like a (rather expensive?) rebranding exercise - presumably to spruce up this wonderful abandoned railway route in time for some big local event in 2012.

Plaistow - or is it Chicken City ?

#29719, nearby

Chargeable Lane - groovy name

#29718, nearby

Useless signage, and a horribly narrow cycle lane. At last we're beginning to see signs of the end of this sort of rubbish facilities - in London at least.

Sorry about the over exposed photo - but I needed to record the advanced stop line (ASL here) permits solo motorcycles too.

Pavement cycleway

#29714, nearby

Cycleway roadworks.

#29713, nearby

The cycleway here has been pulped!

#29712, nearby

The cycleway along here is an unpleasant experience because of the busy road environment.

#29711, nearby

The road crossing point on the far side is so far round the corner into the side road that when you're standing there it is very difficult to see the fast traffic turning there. Horrible!

World Travel Market 2009 - a remarkable number of cycling maps being distributed (especially in Poland!)

#16595, nearby

Cycle and motorbike parking at London City Airport - beyond all the car-parking (of course bikes are a bomb threat whereas no-one would think of using a car).
