I didn't know whether I was supposed to cycle on the pedestrian bit or the road bit; and I am fed up with being used as a moving chicane to regulate the speed of cars. Most heinous of all is that there are NO BIKE RACKS for the Science Museum, or for anywhere else that I could see. The only ones in the whole road are the existing ones on the corner by the V&A. Each lampost/road sign had a bike attached. I added mine to a bench.

It works fine until some commuter decided to blow through at 40km/h, at the time children are going to school. In the dark. Then there's nowhere to go except between parked cars.<br />There are a lot of children around hee, but even on the play streets their parents don't want them going outsode.Andy in Germanyhttp://www.workbike.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-58380062470772317992012-01-05T01:06:26.138+00:002012-01-05T01:06:26.138+00:00Would you like to get more visitors from London?

My overall feeling though is that shared space doesn’t work with motorised traffic on a through road, however nicely it's been landscaped.<br /><br />Sadly, this is yet another lost opportunity to create a genuine pedestrian area. I still wouldn't let my 11 year old cross the "road" from the entrance of the Science Museum to the V&A.<br /><br />PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
