Maintenance does add up though if you use it everyday (especially on London roads).
In fairness it's the filth that accumulates that's the issue. The Mong-One is singlespeed but the chain just seems to attract gummy grime. Not a huge issue - 10-mins work once a month.Not that I commute into London anymore so it may have cleaned up in the last 12-months.

Add the salt and general road muck and I don't bother cleaning the bike, just the rims and transmission once a month. If I ever have to change a tube at the roadside I'm always covered in dirt though.

I stumbled across this site http://www.cyclestreets.net/ recently. It does a pretty good job of planning cycle specific routes for you. You also get to choose 3 filters. Quietest, Fastest and Balanced.
It also has the facility to convert and save the route as a .gpx file.
I loaded a couple of routes onto my Garmin 800. There were a couple of erroneous U-turns in the plan but the overall routes themselves were very good.
HTH
Ps you can also get it as an app.
