Velocio is spot on. Its bad enough cycling east out along the CS3 next to the A13. Also as has been said you can't leave the cycle way when you want to. I wouldn't want to cycle past where I wanted to be because I couldn't leave.

I like it. I used to take the west way sometimes to get into town quickly from white city. Would easily save me ten minutes from WC to Kings X. If it's for a defined, repeating commute, I think it's win.
But, having said all that, I doubt it would suit more than five percent of east west cycle journeys.
And it has a hill at each end to gain access.

Now this is going to make drivers in London fairly mad... closing and narrowing lanes on the A40 Westway to replace them with elevated and segregated cycleways:

And even though I live West, I can never see me using this.
Who wants to cycle down a weather exposed lane, that will be right beside thunderously loud and highly polluting traffic, when there is no option or ability to get out of that situation?
I'll continue, like everyone I suspect, to do the North side of Hyde Park to Notting Hill and to make route deviations from there according to conditions at the time.
Does anyone actually want that, or did it just make for a nice line on a map and an easy way to connect the route to Acton without them having to look into how it really is on the ground?
