I do agree that this is not a stretch of cycling nirvana I'd recommend for bike polo or time trialing, I happen to love cycling along the river in a non agressive kick back leisurely cruise mode and we are allowed to cycle on that stretch for now. OK so they are planning to ban it, which I disagree with, but if they do so I will abide by the ban. But the point is we are allowed to cycle on there as things stand and they have still spent money putting up signs and have obviously informed plod to accost cyclists acting like there is some legal basis to do so when in fact there is not. Yes I know govts can be all about misinformation but this just got my goat, and its on my doorstep, bloody NIMBY.
Anyway having read this thread yesterday and armed with this new information I went down there today, and at this point i must stress I was not in any way following what I think in these parts is known as the Dancing James approach to on/off road conflict resolution. I went along slowly giving priority to peds at all times, smiling and enjoying the day and past 2 complods at Lambeth end and 3 at Westminster end and on both occasions no one said a peep, typical, the one day I'm ready for them they don't bite, ho hum.
