Can't help but think that a new overground station would actually be a benefit to Cycleway 10 in the long run, it would presumably come alongside a silly amount of homes also being built, and hopefully that would make this stretch of the cycleway less isolated feeling and busier with foot / bike traffic. But yeah hopefully they find a way to keep it open during construction.
What a beautiful ride for a young kid! No wonder, why he's singing. I would do that myself, if I were in his position. Carry on doing this useful and substantial work for the community at large. Greetings from a walker.
RUclips's compression algorithm at 1080p really struggles in scenes with a lot of detail, such as at the beginning of your route where there a lot of trees that turn into a blurry mess. I've heard that if you upscale the video and upload it as 4K, the video gets a lot less choppy because 4K has a much higher bit depth. Or something like that.
*That part under the tunnel with graffiti on the walls is gorgeous!* 🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️👌🏽 Would love to see scenic, non-commute routes, the ones where you cycle for sightseein
Good route. Hopefully it’s safe to ride around the back of Millwall Stadium again. I used to ride that route often but stopped about almost a year ago due to reports of repeated muggings and bike thefts.
Hope your son will be out on many more rides to come. You'll need to do videos to parks like Coram's Fields and The Princes of Wales playground in Hyde Park. Both are parents with kids only.
7:56 yes, I was just thinking the same today, cycling along here that the sign is in entirely the wrong place. It’s like sign on C14 on Rope st that was pointing entirely the wrong direction for years before they’ve now finally fixed it. I was frustrated as there didn’t seem to be anywhere to report the problem on the TfL website (I found links but they were all broken).
Many, many years ago I had a child seat on my bike that my son sat in, he managed to squeeze into it until he was nearly school age. He often fell asleep and I could always tell when that happened as I would feel a sudden lurch as his head flopped forward...
@@LondoncycleroutesSame for my 2yo grandson when I carry him in a backpack.😊 I'm looking to get a bike seat for him. Would you recommend the one you have?
@@andypryor813 yes it's great! I have a Thule Yepp Maxi. when I first got it I thought it was a bit on the big side but I'm glad I have the bigger size now! I have the kind that attaches to a luggage rack rather than to the bike frame. it's really easy to take on and off and my partner and I switch it between our bikes easily, we have the same luggage rack. it's worth checking with a bike shop if your bike can handle it/which one it needs as some e.g. a lighter aluminium road bike might have trouble. also it needs to be a luggage rack rated for the right weight apparently. I have a steel frame road bike now and it works. I think anything more city/hybrid bike or whatever should be fine but I'm not an expert
@@Londoncycleroutes You'll be relieved to know that it was open this morning. However, there was a strange hazard on the bike path on Surrey Canal Road - a massive crowd of people - and this was at 07:15 on a Sunday! Turns out that there's a nightclub in the Orion Business Centre. These were people waiting for pickups so they could go home.
Another great video. Nice that your son is along for the rides.
He’s a big fan!

Yeah that’s a really good point, fingers crossed
I do like cycling through that park. It is worth noting though, it is unlit at night so worth bearing that in mind with the dark evenings coming up
Yes good point!

Greetings from a walker.
Yes he loved it! And thanks so much
This is great, thanks! Would love to see some more ways of getting around south of New Cross and Peckham Road
I’ll see what I can do!

I think that’s true but this video is actually in 4K! You should be able to select the top quality - might have been your connection was slow?
@@Londoncycleroutes Hm looking now you're right, it is 4K, but I don't think I had that option before. Odd.

Noted! I’ve been thinking of doing more touristy routes for a while but haven’t got around to it
Good route. Hopefully it’s safe to ride around the back of Millwall Stadium again. I used to ride that route often but stopped about almost a year ago due to reports of repeated muggings and bike thefts.
Yes I’ve not read anything in a while but you never know
that boarded up magistrates court would make some great flats.
I think there are plans to put flats on the site- a court would be useful too though!
Hope your son will be out on many more rides to come. You'll need to do videos to parks like Coram's Fields and The Princes of Wales playground in Hyde Park. Both are parents with kids only.
Yes routing via playgrounds will become a necessity!
I have done that route a few times. I think Southwark council have some good routes.
Yeah there’s some decent stuff in Southwark - they need to do more though!

That's my pet peeve. That there is not am easy place to report issues with cycle paths.
Yeah I hope someone sees this video and fixes it

Haha yes mine also seems to find it very relaxing and falls asleep! I can tell because he stops singing/talking

Last Tuesday morning at around 0915, the path at 4:57 was closed by a gate. No sign to say why either.
Oh really that’s worrying, thanks for letting me know
