I a...Thank you for taking the time to comment all. I agree with David that these latest plans from TfL are indeed shocking, especially when it feels like we have made progress with the rhetoric - clearly the design knowledge and will lags behind.<br /><br />Regarding protesting again and again, unfortunately we work in a cynical central London environment. There are only so many times you can hold up a junction with a protest and expect London's media to turn up. Without them, no one hears about your action and the Mayor and TfL can dismiss you outright. It really is a question of the message having to come from as many people as possible....<br /><br />Lastly, I like the last anonymous commentator's remark about "cyclist" vs other types of prejudice. We touched on this subject in 2011 with this post about what the gay rights movement could teach cycling. I hope you'll find it interesting: http://ibikelondon.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/bike-pride-or-what-gay-rights-movement.htmlibikelondonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978714126105951294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-47007073010529551682014-03-28T16:52:47.314+00:002014-03-28T16:52:47.314+00:00"The only way you're going to get better ..."The only way you're going to get better provisions and a liveable city is to stop asking for it, start demanding it and back it with direct action: shut down dangerous junctions, block major arterial roads, close down the worst polluted areas."<br /><br />I totally agree with you but the problem is we're British and we don't do that sort of thing and TfL know this. So I guess we just have to accept that when we're riding out bikes in London that we're second class citizens and get used to it. <br /><br />Good jobs 'cyclism' isn't a race or religion eh? I'm sure the outcome would be very different if it was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-15234388668909144012014-03-26T14:22:40.116+00:002014-03-26T14:22:40.116+00:00@Anonymous "In London, the motorist comes fir...@Anonymous "In London, the motorist comes first, he/she always has and always will."<br /><br />The last part of that statement isnt true. Vehicular traffic will not ALWAYS take priority as long as most of the upper management of the Surface Traffic department within TfL are sacked.<br /><br />They have a mantra that nothing must affect traffic flow, they use models that blatantly do not work as they do not predict correctly issues that might arise, yet continuously refuse to abandon them and seek out new ones.<br /><br />The mayor is a damp squib as he refuses to deal with pollution because he can only deal with broad concepts, not details.<br /><br />If people in London want a liveable city then forget thinking asking nicely is going to get you jacksh!t.<br /><br />We experienced that with Blackfriars Bridge, we've experienced it for years with asking for better cycling provisions.<br /><br />The only way you're going to get better provisions and a liveable city is to stop asking for it, start demanding it and back it with direct action: shut down dangerous junctions, block major arterial roads, close down the worst polluted areas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-54531865275502633712014-03-26T13:59:58.682+00:002014-03-26T13:59:58.682+00:00Emma Foa was the second cyclist killed by a left t...Emma Foa was the second cyclist killed by a left turning truck at Camley Street/Goodsway. I suspect your figures would show an even worse situation if you looked at the junction and its approaches - for example the deaths on Pentonville Road/Rise.<br /><br />I use the junction regularly and note that the lane widths are seriously sub standard, although 2 lanes feed the stop line at Grays Inn Road-York Way you'll only manage to get 2 cars side by side, and immediately they enter York Way there is a 'negotiation' for priority in the dingle lane available.<br /><br />The TfL proposals are crap and clearly have not even observed cyclist and pedestrian behaviour in this area. I'll make some notes if I get time.Dave Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11574227829528072780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-78581681637069470592014-03-25T16:45:21.838+00:002014-03-25T16:45:21.838+00:00In London, the motorist comes first, he/she always...In London, the motorist comes first, he/she always has and always will.

I'm hoping and praying that no more blood will be shed here. Also, it's not good for bikers around London to get this kind of news. We ought to encourage bikers in order to lessen pollution around the city.

They've come up with a design for cycling around Kings Cross which is actually worse than the design of <a href="http://www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com/2011/11/most-dangerous-junctions-in-london-and.html" rel="nofollow">the most dangerous junction in the Netherlands</a>, a gyratory in Groningen which is long overdue for renewal.<br /><br />Instead of learning from mistakes made elsewhere and avoiding the problems created, London is seeking to repeat mistakes, and indeed to make worse mistakes.David Hembrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14543024940730663645noreply@blogger.com
