CS7

The 'Tooting Manoeuvre' as we called it when we lived there...

That'll be it, I've started extending my ride home so use that section until the industrial park in Colliers Wood. The gentle downhill slope past all the Indian restaurants makes for a rather "fun" ride, especially so with the tailwind we had the other night
Me and Gaz also narrowly avoided jumping a red whilst flying down there on one wet evening!

That was a little too close!

Clapham High Street is a cakewalk compared to heading west through Balham towards Colliers Wood, even muppet pulling out of a side road seems to think that little blue lane is in fact an extension of their giveway line so you invariably have to duck out of the lane to avoid the nose of their car! Last night I even had a ped just stand in there in the cycle lane staring at me as I was bearing down on them at a fair rate of knots....

Know it well, live between Balham and Tooting Bec. Bec -> Broadway's always exciting- do that exact stretch when couriering stuff to my accountants (quicker than snail mail). It's almost a caricature of hazard perception, like a computer game.

[QUOTE 2358738, member: 1314"]My personal experience says otherwise. However, I’m mainly through there before 8.30am, so it may be different outside the rush hour. At my time, there’ll be 25+ cyclists all stopped at the Kennington Tube reds with no one jumping. Having said that, traffic is too heavy to jump the lights anyway.[/quote]
This is my experience too, as you say there's no real opportunity even for those who want to.

There was a survey of major traffic junctions in London that looked at this one and others, it's been linked to beforehand but I couldn't find it just now. One thing it showed was RLJ-ing was predominantly non-rush hour behaviour.

Numpties galore but 50% RLJing at Oval? Do me a favour... more like 1 in ten.

That's the one, cheers. I see it doesn't mention Oval tho.

Yes, did me a lap and a half of it, this eve. Didn't need full beam until 3/4 of the first lap (about 6:30>pm, I'd say). It's a nice relax and opportunity to get close to nature, after a hard day of graft!

When do the gates close? I was tempted to do one and half a lap the other day but a colleague in the area said it's full lock down at dusk and at this time of year I would be in it well after dusk.
