Rain today and the roads are busy however, because there are fewer cyclists on the road, the whole cycling to work exercise seems much safer. Parked my bike in the rack and I was the only one where normally there would be five or six as a minimum.
We seem to be getting to the stage, that in the summer months ( except for rainy days ) we have reached a saturation point for cycling traffic.
Last week, I was waiting in a large queue of cycles to go through the lights from Hyde Park across Knightsbridge. The lights changed to red before I got to the lights and I found myself near the front of a longer queue which led to overspill outside the designated cycle path, and ultimately a free-for-all across the road.
Has it got to the stage where cycle route widths need to be increased do to rush hour volumes?
