Pop-up road closure and contraflow cycle lane

Coming off the quietway on Beech Street onto Long Lane is always a shock. Far too much motor traffic, including vans and HGVs, to feel safe here cycling with children. Needs proper cycle lane or filtering. Filtering may be difficult as not … [more]

Rather improvised ramps on the new access to Liverpool Street station

Link to the segregated route through the Barbican tunnel - now only open to zero-emissions vehicles

Redirected cycleway using coning off during works

Please remove the raised brick crossings here and elsewhere in the square mile - these are uncomfortable and dangerous for cyclists, particularly in the wet.

Better linkage of CS1 and CS7 needed - current quietway is indirect and poorly signed

Multi-phase traffic light here means very long wait for cyclist/pedestrian lights, because of the delay, cyclists and pedestrians often ignore the lights, creating danger for themselves and other road users. Perhaps a re-design of the … [more]

Allow bikes heading south here to turn right onto cycle way

There is a cycle way crossing across the Embankment. Unfortunately due to cycleway design, there is a green light shown to cyclists, immediately prior to crossing. The light controlling crossing cannot be seen. Too many cyclists take … [more]

Bank junction and routes through the city could be improved through a continuous segregated cycle path

This is where the Embankment cycle way goes wrong. It is great (although now too narrow when busy) between Parliament Sq and Blackfriars but east of there the cycle way is north of the busy road which is bad for cars and bad for cyclists. … [more]

Two-way cycle track is far too narrow for volumes of cyclists using it at peak times. Going head-to-head with a throng of oncoming cyclists from the opposite direction is really unpleasant and scary.

Too many buses, lots of traffic. no cycle lanes.

Cycle path from Monument up to Shoreditch

This is where the Embankment cycle way goes wrong. It is great (although now too narrow when busy) between Parliament Sq and Blackfriars but east of there the cycle way is north of the busy road which is bad for cars and bad for cyclists. … [more]

This should be a great connection between CS3 and CS7. Right now they cross, but turning from one to the other is not efficient. Worst is CS3 westbound to CS7 southbound which forces you to turn right and Uturn across multiple traffic … [more]

Turn for bikes is too narrow for how busy this crossing is

Don't think I ever got around to posting this shot last year? Seems like a pretty neat bonus feature. https://t.co/moe53ocQfM

A bit of protection around the corner for cyclists

Bus stop by the new Cycle Superhighway along the Victoria Embankment

Cycle route next to the College of Arms, London

Cut-through for bikes at the start of a short stretch of segregated bike lane.

This crossing should be adapted for cycling too.

Good cycle contraflow and dropped kerb access to Little Britain

Little Britain - shared space for pedestrians and cyclists (slightly obstructed at the moment)

Perhaps the Keep Clear markings are not needed now that only cyclists are allowed to come through the narrow section.

Cycle lanes merging on the Aldersgate roundabout (and nicely sheltered Barclays/Santander bike sharing station)

Motor Vehicles Only a block from Liverpool Street station, but no crossing of the main road.

Not particularly sophisticated or cycle-friendly road closure at Liverpool St station.
