My argument is more about crap cycle lane design more than anything else.
I now find I am taking alternative routes to avoid these ((CS 2 and CS 3) as much as possible and as you already guessed mixing it with traffic again.This was what cycle lanes were designed to avoid,no?
The actual better part of the CS 3 (is mainly non enclosed) after Limehouse heading eastwards.
Same here . And it seems that it wasn't built me and you . Seems the LCC don't speak for all cyclists ...... just their sort of cyclist .
Even the traffic light junctions are fecking appalling.
East west is so much better constructed although I did see last week that it was flooded in sections.
CS 3 after spice quay gets better up to that point it is a bit of blue paint. Sadly the best bit was existing shared use path put in when A13 was improved. All boris did was plonk some blue paint down .
Still it's segregation innit and that's the best thing . I would love some of those who tweet pics of their kids on the e-w to take them on CS 2 and 3 where it's really crap then make comments sbout how soooopaaah they are .
Sub standard design . Sub standard construction and not one of the big cycling. Pressure groups had the balls to say "OI TfL , NO that's rubbish do it properly . "
