Dog on a bike

Most of my commute is on A road plus if I'm on my own and a distance from home, I will tend to ride the A road rather than smaller roads. A roads tend to be direct. Ones of note:
A2: I've ridden most of it's length at one time or another. I've been politely asked to leave it by a motorway patrol guy who freely admitted I had no obligation to leave if I didn't want to. The stretch near Gravesend London bound where the M2 joins is "interesting"
A3: Heading out of London just seems to be full of idiots.
A5: IMO the best way out of London to the North. Ridden it from Marble Arch to just outside Nuneaton.
A30: An absolute peach of a road. If you ever want to cycle from London to Winchester and all points further west, this road is the dogs.
A20: Quickest way from Ashford to London. It's not particularly pretty but it's also not too bad
I tend to prefer A roads because it gives motorists more room to pass particularly on the larger ones.
As I think someone has mentioned, you're not allowed to cycle on all A roads. There's a stretch of the A13 where it's not allowed and the Blackwall Approach from Sun in the Sands northbound is also barred.
