Is true - but cycle lanes do cause congestion and pollution ( see London LTN) as they restrict road space then when the cyclist don’t use the cycle lanes it gets worse and is also dangerous

A new dedicated cycle lane has been installed on the Binley Road, yet some cyclists are still using the road and causing traffic hold ups...
Fuck off!

My 65 year old mother who lives in Cornwall and has never driven, apoplectic with rage about how the ULEZ scheme is a personal attack on honest people like her.
Just the stuff I read about Khan , one of my friends lives on the edge of the new ULEZ area which is basically countryside - pollution levels in the routes that the traffic has been kettled into by the LTNs have gone up ( papertalk) but for example As the roads have been narrowed to make cycle lanes in Brighton the pollution has gone up as the average speed has dropped - it’s a mix of the two subjects I know but I have seen the cyclists not using the cycle lanes which could be two way and dangerous for PedestriansHave you got any evidence for this? Everything I’ve seen says the opposite.
They do in the immediate term I'm sure as there's the same number of cars in less space.Have you got any evidence for this? Everything I’ve seen says the opposite.

But the idea is to encourage people disposed to cycling to do so as it's less lethal / force drivers to find another way as it's too inconvenient to drive, so in the medium / long term it ought to reduce car usage.
However as this is the annoying things thread... getting out of C&NW cricket ground is a challenge. The cycle lane is not obviously two directions when you exit, and you're focussing on the road as it's a bit like a pavement so you assume things will be coming at you slower. Yes, it's my responsibility, but a bit of heavy duty signing / warning until people get used to the concept would be useful. A couple of times I've driven out and across and only then realised I hadn't checked to my left if a cyclist was coming - good job they weren't!
Is that the Old Shoreham Road in Hove that you’re on about? If so, it’s long been backed up due to the poor road layout. In reality, Brighton has had a lot of pollution for years now as it’s a highly populated compact city with too many cars/people.Just the stuff I read about Khan , one of my friends lives on the edge of the new ULEZ area which is basically countryside - pollution levels in the routes that the traffic has been kettled into by the LTNs have gone up ( papertalk) but for example As the roads have been narrowed to make cycle lanes in Brighton the pollution has gone up as the average speed has dropped - it’s a mix of the two subjects I know but I have seen the cyclists not using the cycle lanes which could be two way and dangerous for Pedestrians

Cov rugby Vs Saracens on Saturday.International breaks, no City for 2 weeks is shit. Good chance to watch some non-league though.
I was going to that but can't make it anymore. Was meant to be in Cov for a mate's BBQ but it's been cancelled so I'll stay local and take in some North West Counties Premier Division instead.Cov rugby Vs Saracens on Saturday.
Rugby World Cup?International breaks, no City for 2 weeks is shit. Good chance to watch some non-league though.
You can add that shitshow to the thread as it goes. Off to Lille in a month watch England v Samoa, a lot less excited than when I bought the tickets a year ago. Doesn't help that one of the guys I'm going with is a Scotland fan.Rugby World Cup?
(i'll get me coat!)

When they are both ridden on the roads by pricks who stink of weed and have no road sense.

I worked from home today and it was awful, been in the office this week otherwise which is air conditioned bliss. I'd never wish away nice weather but have to say the current heat feels particularly oppressive.Wish this heat would just fuck off now.
Some weekends ago we had a meet in a pub carpark - one stone head tipped up , you could smell him all over the car park - there were 150 people there - it was him everywhereNeighbour dumping his garden waste into our green bin because we paid for a permit and he hasn’t.
Also the smell of weed coming in through the window which is open because it’s hot.
