4 miles of weaving out of traffic, onto the pavement, behind bus stops, across pedestrian crossings, between narrowing kerbs and back into traffic, only to be run down by a driver in the famously cycle-friendly Stratford town center by a driver who reckons you should be on the blue path that he kindly bought for you with his road tax.
Great.
But seriously, how many new interactions (crossings, turns, entries and exits) does the new segregated lane demand of cyclists vs riding in the road? I'd be interested to see.
Have you looked at the plans? It provides significant segregation for nearer 4 miles including the piece up to Stratford.
