This shows the roadspace getting more hostile as heading in from the east. Route

This starts very well with a nice wide shared-use path. It's also likely to have few pedestrians in it who are also likely to be a bit more wary of their environment.
Sadly, I turn off it as it drops under trees and onto a fantastically uneven surface more in tune with hard offroad riding.
After a short section of substandard narrow cyclelane, a bus lane appears. Laybys where people have parked cars have space, although be aware of them and always stay clear of the door zone.
Then the narrow cyclelane reappears. This is car central. And it's why the roadspace has been taken away from buslanes, so to allow turning cars in the middle of the road.
The shared-use path is still there, but completely dominated by prioritized side accesses. As the houses appear, more verge parked cars can be added to this. Thankfully the buslane reappears.
Just before the Ditton Lane lights, I give up and use the shared-use path. This gets me through some of the congestion here, but quickly requires me back in the road for the roundabout.
Motors usually move quickly through the roundabout so I'm not sure filtering will help here and could be dangerous with bigger vehicles.
Starts on Newmarket Road
