    Wasn't being serious - it's done with Virb edit.

    That's James OC. Was out this morning. He's incredibly strong for his age/size.

    Btw - It's not they. This is my video.

    But thanks for the plug. Hours of work went into producing and rendering that mini-map. And it doesn't even show the full loop.

    These guys are 16/17, with faster solo lap times than anything ^^^, so it's pretty impressive to me.

    I was thinking due to the park being dimly lit with those old lamps, you might not be able to see the deflections in the road (especially commuting in winter). Would also be a nightmare if you had another 14 places where the cars 'must-get-in-front'.

    I agree, on other roads you can hit them at 30mph and not even think about it (nearby on Avenue Rd for example).

    The Royal Parks proposed 14 'speed tables' with a cobbled top surface. So you may get a bit of that pave. Not dissimilar to the cobbled hump at the SE gate.
    How they possibly think cobbled speed bumps are a good idea when the park is poorly lit is anyone's guess.

    A petition has been started: Stop The Royal Parks using TFL cycling funds for anti-cycling infrastructure

    If you could take a minute to sign/share and show your support for cycling in Regent's Park, that'd be much appreciated.

    Ask for a bespoke order book, or see if you can find it from Brompton instead. Prices start the same as off the shelf models, and you pay for each customisation you choose (although some changes are free).

    Lead time is generally ~2-3 months (can be quicker), but I'd ask them for a recent order they've done for a better estimate.

    Unfortunately, yes. A powerful bike/car and 0.5mi straight strip of road with good visibility made it believable for me. They have the option of doing 20 behind a bus on Albany street, or nailing it down the outer circle.

    The values seem plausible when you consider the sensors were recording non-stop for a whole week. 1 vehicle hit 90+, 3 hit 80+. Sometimes you'll see motorbikes at these kind of speeds on less-open roads than the outer circle.

    I don't care to dispute or validate the figures, but they are a part of the consultation for the changes in RP for CS11. I'd imagine there would be all kinds of legal issues for TfL/DfT if they were relying on inaccurate speed surveys and/or crap equipment to justify their road plans.

    As @NurseHolliday said - not sure if serious.

    The limit is 30, but I think RP has the only roads in the borough of Camden that aren't under a 20 limit. You can certainly see drivers looking to make up time using RP as a through route.
    I've seen police out with radar guns twice this year, pulling over quite a few cars and motorbikes. One time they even towed away a car (probably insurance, rather than exclusively speed related).
