Kingsway Underpass

[mr_cellophane]

Forgetting all the poor cycling in this clip, is there a cycle lane in the underpass at 3:00 or is that just a narrow "hard shoulder"

I think you'd have to be mad to cycle that underpass, it's the London cabby's favourite mad mile.

The police always try to keep CM out of that for some reason. I've skated and cycled it a few times.

Bit of a nutter that cyclist, IMO, what with the gutter and pavement riding.

The is a no cycling sign on the road lane just before the underpass (cyclist in a red triangle). years ago I used to use it in the mornings though, at about 07:30 and it was really great hammering around the bends and sprinting up the ramp into Kingsway.

Triangle is a warning of a bicycle route, no?

It's in a red circle, meaning cycling prohibited:

Erm, dont you mean a red circle?

 

[Wocce Racer]

Quite right, I stand erected. I had a look just now when I went out for a sarnie and it is a circle! I must get my eyes tested!

It's great - I like cycling it 'cause you can go fast through it!!

Not at all, I've only cycled it at night- the lighting adds to the effect. Though I do like to sprint down it - the underpass past embankment is busier I usually find. Give it a try though technically it is a no bikes section - whoops
