Evening Traffic Jam On Romford Road

Yep Lovelly! Far faster in the usual Jams than 4 wheeled vehicles!

@RocketScientist79

Indeed and much less likely to contribute to the jams too!

So, what you are showing us in this video is, that it is more efficient to cycle than to sit in traffic?!? ; > }

@busog97641

Well I guess I am, if you see it from one perspective. If you look at it from another, perhaps I'm showing you how this lot added a full 10 minutes to my usual journey time. ;)

Have you ever cycled on the Bow roundabout where two cyclists have died recently? Is it really that dangerous?

@Abu451

Yes I have cycled on the Bow RAB, once eastbound - never again as most of the traffic will be eagerly trying to cross your path to the A12 northbound - and only westbound when there are strong winds. The prevailing winds are westerlies, so in the morning, during reliable daylight hours I may use the RAB instead of the flyover to save pedalling uphill into the wind. In the evening, that wind will help rather than hinder so I won't take the risk of using the RAB.
