I suppose you (and I) would be able to cycle to Farrington,

Except that they are rather in the wrong direction for
Westminster.

You what? Westminster to Blackfriars is a substantially shorter
and easier ride than Westminster to King's Cross.

Only if you ignore the train running time. Anyway, how much
better is the platform-street level interchange there?

Pass. I've never used either of them, i'm afraid!

From what I have ever seen of Blackfriars it has every bit the height
difference problems that SPILL has.

Okay. Farringdon does too - you have to carry your bike up a flight of
stairs. I don't find it a big deal, but i can imagine persons of less
sturdy build than me might.

So, City Thameslink?
