after all the faults of these links, they arent proposing to change the highway code,
so, you skilled riders can still choose to use the main roads as often as you like.
agreed that there are plenty of places a 1.5 metre lane will seem scarily like less width, and yes there will be some twattish drivers, isnt there always going to be?
however, the mere fact that TFL and the authorities have the front to say, "were trying, give it a go, and use this as a main commuter route into town" has got to be good. London are likely to follow best practice guidance for what goes in.
In the regions, Council cycling officers are actively ignored when it comes to cycle infrastructure, they can argue hard for improvement, get best practice designs approved, and STILL engineers will then go forward with sub-standard narrower lanes.
