Rob Ainsley has put up a page for the Thames Crossings series that he's been blogging about on Real Cyclist. It shows all 33 ways of crossing the Thames with a bike, in the tidal section between Teddington and Tilbury.What a brilliant idea.
Presumably it can be adapted to any major river. At some point I can see myself organising another trip to Tyneside, but in the meantime I'll be adding this the list of things I need to find time for - once I complete this year's Jenkins quest.

Sounds interesting. I'm tempted to say I'll do a load of Wear crossings if you do Tyne crossings?
That's a hard challenge to resist. But bear in mind that I am at the wrong end of the country, and I will have to fit this around a load of other stuff. So it could be some time before I can play my part.
I hope you won't wait for me. Go ahead, and start putting the pressure on. I look forward to seeing how it goes.
This, I think is the list for the Tyne - a nice round dozen...
