Dear ACC members.
Need some help if possible please. Croydon council are placing 650+ homes on Cane Hill citing that quite a few people will cycle down Portnalls road to shop in Coulsdon and carry it back up the hill on the bike again. (Obviously wearing normal clothes)
May i have your opinion ( 1=v.hard, 2=hard and 3=average and 4=easy) as to how difficult this will be with a bag/rucksack of shopping and an average gradient of 6.9% (Speed bump to post box) compared to Box Hill's Zig Zag of 5.2% please?
Its very important to try and keep the traffic assessment associated with this huge development realistic and keep cyclists using this road safe!
Your help is really appreciated.
Tony Maynard
