TFL Cycle Superhighways

So much this.

The lane should be a car width, not half that.

Do I recall correctly and Sadiq Khan has just cancelled a CS-something?

Fake EDIT: yes, the A40 cycleway: http://www.bikebiz.com/news/read/sadiq-khan-scraps-a40-westway-cycle-superhighway/019579

This is fucked. Unless he has a good alternative proposal, he's being an utter dick, having run on a very pro-cycling ticket. He's into the idea of the fucking garden bridge though.

Last I heard 'no decision has been made', so maybe the stink being kicked up will be enough to make him reconsider.

Either that, or he's managed to make RBKC change their mind over a track along Kensington High Street (yeah, right).

no surprise Khan is screwing cycle lanes, didn't he say they could be less wide during the campaign??

Does anyone use CS1 instead of just cycling the A10? TfL say there are loads less junctions but I've never seen anyone on it past Stamford hill and it looks really crap at St Ann's road

CS1 is a Vincent Stop's stitch up. Hackney are no fans of segregation and avoided it all costs, hence CS1 is a bodge that used cycle money to repave the road.

The latest on the M40 is that no decision has been made only a significant objection by Westfield, it's also news to TFL.

CS1 from Old Street to Dalston is great. Don't use it any further north than that because I live further East.

Removal of the roundabout in Hoxton, and rephasing of the traffic lights at Downham Road, have made a big difference.

That bit of the route was pretty great anyway, it's once you get passed Stoke Newington that it turns into a joke

ah ok, will have to chekkit sometime.

CS1 is the nicest of cycling infrastructure I have seen in London yet. Just lovely roll there from Stoke Newington even as not on my route still use it. Only improvement would be right of way on Balls Pond.

While everything that is wrong is happening on Royal College Street.

Again.

CS1 isn't cycling infrastructure. It is some minor calming on back roads that leads to lots of aggressive driving common in the rest of Hackney.

It is indeed exemplary cycling infrastructure. I decide to ride it as a most enjoyable route of shared usage.

More from a popular series:

There seems to be at least one of these stories every time a new bit opens.

I decide to ride it as a most enjoyable route of shared usage.

That's better satire than I could manage.

It's as if some drivers are not that competent...

One of my colleagues said the police were speed-gunning cyclists and pulling them over near the junction of fleet street and the blackfriars bridge cycleway CSwhatever it is

Anyone know anything about it?

I'm not a lawyer but I was under the impression that as speedometers aren't mandatory for bicycles there's no speed limit?

I'd quite like getting pulled over for that, we'd be there a while.

On a public road the law on speeding only refers to motor vehicles.
Doesn't stop the police giving 'advice'/harassment to those they deem suitable.

Seems like an excellent use of police resources.

Daily Mail bitching about this too.

I wonder if their numbers take into account the journeys taken by people using a bicycle.
