Parliament Square cycle lanes
Are built with cars in mind.
"£170 million those bike lanes cost, and nobody is using them" said every taxi driver
It's almost as if the lanes are a bit shit, and not really what is needed or wanted

The cycle lanes are not compulsory, you don't have to be corralled into waiting an age to head in the same direction as other road vehicles just because you don't have an engine.
I went all the way around Parliament Sq today instead doing my usual hang right. I flew past about 50 cyclists jammed into that narrow segregated path waiting at their own set of lights for the privilege to use the same piece of tarmac that I just cycled past them on.
The mind boggles.

Parliament Square cycle lanes are a right pain in the arse. Took about 5 minutes to get from Millbank side onto Embankment today when it used to take about 30 seconds. Hope they speed up the sequence of the lights...
