Starting from Manor House, the SuperSafe™ route to Tower Bridge covers 9.1 km in about 36 minutes. This flat ride includes a gentle climb of 5 metres and a descent of 28 metres. With about 83% of the journey on quiet streets and cycleways, it offers a peaceful ride through the city. The route begins on Green Lanes, Clissold Road, and Shakspeare Walk, and utilises cycleways C1, C27, and C13.

Compared to the direct route, which is 8.5 km and takes about 34 minutes, SuperSafe™ adds just 2 minutes to your journey. This slight increase in time is well worth it for the calmer streets it offers.
