dumbass LCC bike lane on Stratford High Street

[dellzeqq]

Dammit TfL have published a total of 18 drawings for the E-W route alone.

yes, and they're all horrible. That's the point. Zimmers picked on the Embankment, because it's particularly horrible and messes up a perfectly lovely bike ride.

Actually I was just thinking, mudguards a useful addition to a road bike, yes or no?

now you've gone just that little bit too far. I'm betting Knobbers has three on his bike.

Newsflash. What you happen to consider a perfectly lovely bike ride, whether riding to the coast in company or otherwise, is not ipso-facto the *definition* of a perfectly lovely bike ride.

Yes. Ditto Dynamo, and I'm saving up to get the best.

The evidence is (check this very forum) that segregation increases cycling deaths per million miles

Blimey. You really have bitten the bullet. Black is not only white, but the sparkliest most reflective sort of white. I'm sure you wouldn't resent linking to this, er, "evidence" right here.

There's no strategic benefit in mass cycling - CS7 is at capacity, and yet the contribution it makes bears no comparison to the humble bus.

It is extraordinary that you have CS7 confused with mass cycling- and I'm sure you have the figures to back up that "no contribution" claim. Surely.

show us the drawwing

Sure, right after you show us where LCC made or took ownership of the bike lane on Stratford High Street.

I've done it [the M4] out to Junction 6

Fantastic. That's that argument settled. Anyone got Junction 7 up their leg warmers?

it takes a bit of reading, but you'll get there...................

now we're dredging the depths of your delusions. I rode down CS7 this morning and this evening. I'd say cycles outnumbered all other vehicles by two to one and private cars by a lot more. Having said that, a far greater number of people were in buses than on bikes - a choice that is every bit, if not more commendable

Yep, that's you NOT linking to the evidence you claimed to have, you patronising gentleman, you.

No, that's ownership of the Principle, NOT execution.

Please look up a sensible definition of 'mass cycling'.

you've read the entire thread? Including the bit where I telephone the DfT for the numbers?
