TfL considering modifying cycle lane on Blackfriars Bridge

hmm.. still a bit quiet, to my mind.. 'people-friendly streets' is so easy to ignore...

if you want to take hold of the narrative, and the moral high ground, (which is what a minority needs to do to get anywhere) you have to go with 'no more cyclist deaths', 'no more lethal junctions'. that's the only thing that forces politicians to act where the easy option is to do nothing. they don't want blood on their hands.

lcc are so scared of putting people off cycling, but one death like the one monday last week, (and a lurid story in the evening standard), does more harm than any campaign lcc might start... and drowns out all the positive campaigning, too.

what will start people cycling is roads that are safer, and feel safer. and right now we need to make the politicians act to provide them...

Did feel a bit pointless, the first two certainly felt more raw, this was just a ride over the bridge to look at some roadworks, the twat on a megaphone at the north end saying thanks for coming (now go away and leave the bridge to real people in cars) pissed me off… maybe just blocking the junction outside TFL towers would have more effect.
