Cycling London

this blackfriars thing seems to have been going on a long time. outside of the political aspect of it all, i don't see how the changes are that bad. when i first heard about it i got the impression they were getting rid of the cycle lanes or something.

the proposed re-design is awful imo. confusing, more traffic lights, more stop start, looks like it would slow traffic down considerably, backed up traffic is not good!

are there more lights? looks like each design basically maintains the current set up of two sets, for the north and south entrances. the lcc design certainly looks simpler.

lights for right turning cyclists!

Ok. I never turn right there :)

revive!

Are you coming to see us SS? Group ride? Or extended cake stop at least? If you need a big frame, my sadly up for sale felt might be available if I gaven't flogged it by then.

Oh, and I am most definitely at both cyclocross events in London this weekend. Beer and frites ahoy

I just booked my trip! Should be fun, not sure if I'll have time to cycle (esp due to winter travel) but I will be stopping by Condor for sure.

That is fast becoming London's densest concentration of Bike stores. I can count 6 between Exmouth Market and Lambs Conduit St.

TfL has three consultations open about various cycle routes at the moment, may be of interest to the cyclists among you:

CS5 extension from Oval to Belgravia
new north-south route from E&C to King's Cross
CS3 extension from Tower Hill to Acton
