Why 'o' fucking why won't they let cyclists go down the broadwalk, it's about 60ft wide for god's sake - surely the queen can afford to paint off a cycle lane for her lowly subjects. (It's a royal park, get caught on your bike in the park and the £300 yes 300 hundred fucking pounds goes to the queens coffers).
They opened it up last summer as an experiment (without telling anyone) and then at the end of the experiment some months later handed out forms at the North end for pedestrians and cyclists to fill in and say whether they thought the idea of a cycle path was successful or not.
Of course there were no cyclists to fill out the forms as they didn't tell anyone what was happening and anyone who has cycled in London for a few years doesn't bother to attempt the broadwalk as they don't want to pay £300 for the privilege. So I expect the experiment was deemed to have a low uptake.
London hates bikes.
