... but little is being done about junctions and major barriers to cycling, like one-way gyratories, for improvements that would really make a difference. Hopefully, more things like this will happen in the next two phases, but it'll be a lot of work.

We desperately need to remove needless one way 'systems' (like the one removed at shoreditch ... remember how horrible shoreditch was to be a cyclist or pedestrian before that changed?) and giant roundabout complexes like E&C and the utter fuckup that is Hammersmith ... One way streets should be removed in every case where there is room for two cars, they ruin our city by turning it into racing tracks.
Pissing around with changing the colour of the mostly bad 'cycle ways' is just stuuuupid. the surface seems like its the usual gravelly stuff, that is often poorly laid and not even an attractive surface to cycle on when it is well laid. Furthermore, like VeeVee has attested, drivers seem to think they're mandatory for us, but they can drive in them at will, even when the dividing line is unbroken. So education aimed at drivers about what cyclists' rights/needs are would be really welcomed.
