Every day I used to cycle home along here. When Google took their pictures it was fairly dry, but regularly it would flood to a depth of a foot or two. The water of the Thames is totally opaque- mostly with suspended mud. The only solution was not to be careful, but to charge through it. There was often some yahoo who'd leave something in the road- like a waterlogged baulk of wood, quite invisible.
It didn't hurt, the water would break my fall. And it was far too much fun to take the parallel, higher path. Jolly wet, though.
