anyone use cs3?

[lip03]

So season ticket renewal date has arrived and its astronomical!! £5053 to be exact! So starting to commute again saving me £1100! Will be riding from st pauls to canary wharf via cs3, would be nice to know if anyone else on here follows a similar path??

Yep, but in the opposite direction

Avoid Cable Street. You will be going against some of the most inconsiderate cyclists I have ever come across. Expect to be bullied off the path often !
Commercial Road has a very poor surface. The Highway is best in the evening heading east. The traffic might be a bit too fast in the morning though. I'd be tempted to get off the train earlier and take a more northerly route.

How many miles is that lip03?

I find the cars on the cs2 crap sometimes depending on time of day and whether it's a fool moon.

Strange the CS3 is so bad,generally I don't find the CS2 cyclists too bad.

I had been joining the CS3 at Westferry and heading along Cable Street to Tower Hill (and then looping back) last year.
At the time of the morning/evening I tended to use that cycle path I didn't have any major issues (probably because I was outside of the main rush hours).

When I used to work in Holborn I used to take this route from St Pauls to Burdett Road in the evening

ive only used cs3 a few times so will have to see how I find it a peak time I think with working shifts i'll be using it at about 7.30 am one week in three so will be busiest then, may have to take a different route that week cheers

I don't like the CS2 sometimes in the rush hour but sometimes it isn't too bad.
