what this will mean is that boris will LOOK like he's doing a lot for london cyclists whereas in fact very little is happening. the "cycle superhighways" amount to little more than spraying a bit of pavement blue, and a few cycle lessons here and there, whatever positive spin the LCC try to give it.
