Now, if 5 people were killed in a week due to something else (guns, bombs, whatever) that dickhead Boris and his mates would be all over this.
Probably due to the cycle training I had when I was growing up I tend to keep left. Didn't do me too badly when I used to cycle in London 10-12 years ago, but after a long break I'm trying to give myself more room as the roads are atrocious now. This can't help.
The blue lanes are also a complete joke - I walk from Bow Church to Bow Road Stations fairly regularly, and cars/vans regularly encroach, but worse is that the road narrows and pushed the blue line feet into the carriageway. Mental.
