Blackfriars bridge has been fucked for about a year. The only fun is pretending not to hear the "rev bombs" from the bikers behind you in the coned-off area as you block them trying to buzz past cyclists. It's so tight for space everywhere - north and south bound. I've tried the Southwark Bridge route but it's much slower...and there are roadworks fucking that up too.
nankatsu-
It's worse than when I was doing this commute last May, that's for sure.
Had a nice shout at a motorbike this morning in the coned off lane - only reason I could was because he'd slowed to let me past. So whilst he was being a dick and illegal, he was sort of also being nice, so maybe didn't deserve to be called a fat fucking cunt. But probably he did, oh I don't know

Current job involved going over Blackfriarts Bridge (I'm leaving that typo in, it pleases me) every day. It's hateful; the new bike lane can't come soon enough. It's the mopeds and other leather broom-broomers who fuck me off the most. There's a temporary, coned off lane for bikes... which every two wheeled motorcunt thinks he or she can use, and rev furiously at any bike slowing their progress.
Actually, the whole way up to Farringdon is horrible at the moment. Hurry up, road builders, and make it safe.
