This morning's commute and other commuting stories

It's great! Will be less great when 2-way. Still better than the old lane.

Yeah, went over both ways yesterday. Guess it'll be lovely when finished. Not so much right now.

Anyone been over Vauxhall bridge? Thoughts on that bit of new cycle track?

North bound from the bus area just before the bridge they've just extended the giveaway line to further up the road. Now its narrower, a lot more than before, although the way the lights are configured, it gives you a little more time to move over to the bus lane. Its a slight improvement, but not much. It feels to me like its more to provide space for the buses crossing over to the bus lane than improving anything for cyclists.

South bound is much better, however I really hope it isn't going to be two way. At peak times, Vauxhall Bridge is heavily used, and ideally there should be a full lane in both directions. If they make it two way, then cyclists going south will go back to having very little room. Where the end of the segregated area merges at the south end of the bridge isn't particularly great at the moment, however I'm hopeful it'll improve as the works progress.
