+1. Some idiots already think it's the law so it's only going to get worse.
Also, some of those idiots will be police.

Frankly given the crap I've been through since being knocked off on CS7, I'm quite happy to ride segregated away from trafficIF conditions are met as I considered above
but the problem is that they ARE NOT MAINTAINED. CS2 at whitechapel - yes the new bit that is segregated. as you head oputbound it is full of rubbish and crap whatever time of day . CS2 from bow to Stratford floods after the merest whiff of rain, and in the winter do you think it gets salted- nope not a chance . Oh and you get the stunning decision by newham to close the lane for works tipping us poor shmucks out into traffic.
were they maintained correctly, and not blocked etc then maybe i would be happy, but as per the priory lane why I don't video , I don't as i ride faster than what would be sensible in a segregated lane.

Correction - it'll be another of those types of legislation where the honest person who stops, gives their true details, and pays the fine gets enforced, while the scrote that chooses to pedal off giving the finger gets away with it!

What an incredibly stupid idea.... Unless they are thinking of doubling the size of all lanes and making traffic crossing the lane have to give way to cycles in the lane and anybody found parking even for a moment (evidence of photographs accepted) .... No I didn't think so.
Until it is given the correct space, priorities and status in law then NO NO NO.

It's rubbish, it's that Nick Ferrari shock-jock bloke, he ASKED Boris if the lanes will be mandatory and ITV news got all excited and printed it as a story. It's piffle.
The link did seem to be mostly devoid of content.
What's your point?

If this rubbish ever gets past the talking stage I predict civil disobedience. I for one will ride where I like, not pay any fines and go to jail if necessary. Maybe.
don't ride in holland then....

I was wrong, it wasn't even Ferrari's idea, it was some appalling fart knocker called Graham, Ferrari just read out Graham's stultifyingly stupid email:

I know, I did think of that but London isn't the Netherlands. The question posed is where are the drawings? Well here's one linked in another CC thread and it looks terrible.

I want to ride in roads if they get me there safe and faster.
My earlier comment was meant in part as a joke but I would certainly defy any insidious rule stopping me from doing so, at least up to a point.
Not that I think any such fine should ever be enforced, but I actually very very highly rate the bike lane here, which ticks all of those boxes:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place...2!3m1!1s0x48761b1e91be3d2d:0xf1c1747a619302f1
So it can be done! Although the big plant boxes should be slightly closer together because occasionally some pigheaded people still park over the lane.
