Clarion has it.
It doesn't matter what cycle lanes, contraflows or permiability measures you suggest, as long as cars taxis and lorries drive irresponsibly, go into cycle lanes and are unaware of contraflows it is all a bit meaningless.
Sorry for describing it as a crock, it's mearly the way the question was phrased suggested to me it was done by someone with an ulteria motive. If you just want to get things done i'm sorry I put my thoughts so bluntly.
In case it's not obvious, i don't think road segregation is a good idea, i think boris bikes should go further out, but the city has plenty and personally i find contra flows are currently a bit scary because of drivers who think the cyclist is willfully ignoring one ways and so take it upon themselves to rid the road of the pesky cyclist.
But then again I don't need to be convinced to ride into the city as I already do it twice a day.
