    you are correct - they poned back (i was so shocked!!)

    nothing between 5-7pm which is no problem can work around that

    I thought it was 4-7 as the generic ban on bikes outbound from Victoria?

    so did I... also it's blocked in the morning as well from 7-9.30 I think...

    just cycle down the A23... plenty of bus lanes, it's only Brixton that's a problem

    If you don't want to spend money on a folder, the ride from Croydon to Victoria isn't too bad. I've never had much of a problem with Brixton, but on the whole it is a pretty good route. A large portion of it has bus lanes, so although the traffic levels can be high you are nicely segregated. I don't think that I truly appreciated that fact until I started my ride to my new job in Knightsbridge.

    It's just too busy in Brixton and the peds are crossing all over the place enmasse
