Just bumping this again.
I think it's fantastic that LCC are sticking their necks out and calling this flashride tomorrow at 08.30 on the bridge. Over 600 people wrote to TfL telling them their original plans were truly appalling, but the new scheme they've come up with is basically a bit of extra paint and some space taken away from pedestrians. It's still going to be 30mph with 3 lanes of traffic in places, and there's no ASL for people trying to get to Queen Charlotte St. People on bikes are the majority of peak hour traffic here, and are being treated like second class citizens just to try and squeeze a few more cars through.
And there's no space here for future cycling growth at all - whatever happened to London becoming a cyclised city?!
I'm going to be there tomorrow morning ( http://bit.ly/ivH6c9 ) it would be great if bods from LFGSS could come along too.
Blackfriars Bridge, 08.30AM by the Dogget's Pub / south junction. Come!
