Hello Guys
New member here. I am currently thinking of taking up the cycle to work scheme for commuting purposes. I live in Wimbledon and work in Leatherhead. The commute distance is 12 miles, and according to google the A24 should be the quickest way to get me to where I need to be. I am not too bothered about the mileage as I am relatively fit, but I started this topic to see if anybody on here had any experience of the the A24 on that particular route. I am worried that the traffic will effectively turn what is a good idea into a nightmare.
I have used the search function but the results didnt really discuss the A24 going out of London.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated
Thanks

Busy normal (i.e not dual carriageway) road mostly. Not nice but probably not as dangerous as riding in cetnral London. There is a back route through Raynes Park to cut a lot of it out. Possibly some parallel quieter roads towards Leatherhead too.
Try it now when the roads are quieter and see what you think.0 -
Ok thanks! Unfortunately I am sans bike at the minute. What's the back way from raynes park?0

Depends where in Wimbledon you need to get to. I use something like this to get to the common:

Use google maps and drag the route around to see different options.0 -
I used to do this commute nearly every day. The quickest way is to follow the A24, pretty safe in general.0
