and for a bit of a laugh you can use the TfL Journey Planner's

suspect due to the weighting it gives to various road types, but I
did use it and find a lovely off-main-road route which I probably
wouldn't have found otherwise, for my daily commute.


I found it pretty useless for improving my long distance route, from
Westminster to Putney, to be honest. It either suggested what i was
already using or some strange and lengthy diversions.

Surely if it suggested a route you have found suitable, it has
accomplished its goal of highlighting the best ways to cycle from A to B?
