With approximately fourteen miles of scenic trails, the route rolls between the heathlands, commons & parklands of Putney Heath, Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park. The entire trail comprises official cycle paths and there are three distances to choose from: 14, 6 and 2 miles.
Riders of all skill and fitness levels are welcome, particularly new riders who's like to explore the local area on two wheels. Entry is free to all & the first person back to The Telegraph Pub buys the beers!

The Thames Path - I don't think there'll ever be a through route here by the river, let alone a cycle route.
Santander Cycles station at Nine Elms, plus pop-up lanes.
I think this is a bus lane, then a pop-up cycle lane, then a general traffic lane - it's really not clear enough.
End of pop-up cycle lane on Nine Elms Lane, and a sign which I think is telling cyclists and truck-drivers to look out for each other.

Ah, National Cycle Network in Wandsworth, London. How we love you so. You have to be quite strong to wheel a bike up the ramp to this gate and then push through. Lovely stuff from @wandbc https://t.co/cUcMXLayfA

Enough for 100 bikes if possible. Currently use buses to travel to the station and cycling would be so much easier - I'm sure many would agree
Cat's Back Bridge has been replaced by a modern structure - it's very busy with pedestrians and cyclists, but there are still barriers in place making passage awkward for everyone.

I got a bit confused here as I wasn't expecting to have to go on to a shared bus lane.
After being on shared use this route towards Putney moves on a lane shared with buses here.
