Not really. Last year cycling from near Finsbury Park was taking
three quarters of an hour, and much effort needed to avoid very
dangerously busy roads. I'd also not recommend cycling home at
midnight after social events in Z1 (even in summer let alone in the
depths of winter), which is where the night bus|tube requirement
comes from.

Three quarters of an hour from Finsbury Park seems a bit excessive.

Google has it as 33min, 5.2 miles. Daughter is a cautious cyclist.

She would appear to have the bike on train option until the 0135 PBO.

Cycling home after a "night out" is a bit odd. During the day the
cycling is to save the train/tube fare.

(She's moved out of FP now anyway).
