Sorry sumo I can't find a picture, Googlemaps is well out of date, basically a few months ago they did some work and have put all sorts of confusing nonsense there. On the side closest to CSM there is now a bus lane with fences on either side, and the lane is very narrow so you can't punt along the side of it.
I use that bus lane every time I go from college to central without incident, it's so much quicker/less stressful than going the Holborn station way. Why do road rules have to be drawn up to save idiot cyclists from themselves, and ruin it for everyone else? Pfffffffft I say.
