Cycle Superhighway Extension - East.

I have to say, the cs2 extension is a great improvement on the rest of cs2. I ride it daily to work, and it really has made a difference to my commute, the lane's nice a wide, closed off from cars, yes it is a little wet at points but overall it's fantastic

It's my commute too, but I've been off the bike for a bit. Rode it for the first time yesterday morning.

The tarmac coating rolls much slower than normal tarmac. Noticeably slower, which is a fucking pain. It's a good job I was wearing overshoes, it was flooded in two places, and it hadn't exactly been heavy rain the day or night before. I hate Bow roundabout, and I don't care what they've done to 'improve' it, I'm not using it. Getting to the flyover is not easy, I don't know why they've made that so difficult.

Also, drivers have no clue what to do when they want to turn left. To them, they're at the front of the lights so they turn left, a segregated cycle lane means "not my problem" from my observations. Left hooks aplenty. It's only going to get worse when it gets busier. Imagine CS7 levels of cycle traffic on that lane, it'd be fucking carnage.
