• Priory Lane, the feeder to Richmond park from the south circular is bloody flooded again. I fucking hate that road. Does anyone know why it floods so frequently? Cyclists can now choose between a soaking or using the terrible cycle section of the pavement replete with multiple dropped curbs and side roads.

  • No idea why it keeps leaking. I assume there is some fuck off complicated water main under there as they've had a few goes at sorting it.

    Not sure where it's got to, but there was a consultation to completely redo priory lane and the cycle / road calming measures. Could be they are waiting for that till they sort the water mains properly - that kind of thinking it probably overly generous though.

    Have you considered mudguards? They are really useful this time of year in general and allow easy navigation of minor inconveniences like the above.

    I should add I also hate that road, but only because of the terrible and aggressive driving it seems to encourage. Hoping whatever they do improves it, but this could probably be sorted by installing a 20mph speed camera and some polite signs reminding drivers the cycle lane is not mandatory for cyclists.
