Just praying for the end of the clusterfuck that it is Putney bridge southbound now.
Is it just me... or Northbound, Lower Richmond Road, left turn onto the bridge, they've built an ASL/box with no way to filter into it?!
If a car is as the stop line, the new kerb blocks cyclists from getting in it.
Women and kid in a cargo bike had to go through the right turn lane to turn left this morning.Slow clap for Wandsworth council, though maybe I've missed something, as it is not quite finished.

Yeah - that new island between left and right lanes is bonkers. I've been taking the right lane and turning left as loads of room on the outside / can be safer than getting squeezed on the inside.
The whole thing seems an absolute mess. No idea what the end game plan is, but my bet is worse for everyone.

Good to hear.
Just praying for the end of the clusterfuck that it is Putney bridge southbound now. Feels incredibly dangerous with three lanes smerging into one and cyclists everywhere trying to make some progress in a sea of buses and flashing indicators.
In general, I find city cycling with anyone else significantly more complicated. Trying to judge junctions and navigating filtering while also trying to stay with someone else can just lead to worse decisions for both. I've been doing Putney>Westminster and now Kingston>Westminster for 15 years I think. Have developed quite the sixth sense for what other road users are going to do at any given moment - so generally find the commute pretty chill. Riding through other bits of London without that deep road knowledge feels much harder.
