I emailed boris to ask why the south side pavement of Mile End road, which is about 5 metres wide for a lot of the length, didn't have the cycle lane painted onto it rather than the more dangerous road.
Got a slightly defensive reply from someone at tfl talking about segregated cycle paths and how they were installing them where they could, nothing to do with my original question.
Now, why the hell do you paint a blue line on the road when it's still legal to drive and park in them. Why paint a cycle path that's only 2 metres long on a back street? God this is tedious.
