Crap Cycling & Walking in Waltham Forest

cycle superhighway 7 revisited





























The full story here.

And from Wandsworth there’s exciting news about Cycle Superhighway 8:

It looks completely useless to me. It's not even 1.5M wide. It's certainly not continuous. To get onto it you have to turn off the pavement, at which point you're in danger of getting rear-ended by vehicles turning from Armoury Way. The cycle lane is advisory only, so any vehicle can drive in it.

And from Westminster another inspiring photograph of a Cycle Superhighway.
