Cycleway, my arse!
@issaddlethereis.bsky.social
Often ranting about TfL's worst Cycleway (#Cycleway1). Tens of thousands of potential cycle journeys are lost every day because huge compromise were made.
Fore Lane Cycleway closed again! @squarehighways.bsky.social, would it kill the contractors to at least put up some advanced signage for people using the supposed Cycleway so they can use alternative routes? This seems like really poor planning.

If you've fooled yourself into "having to" drive a car, then please show some patience. If you can't, then don't drive on a f*ck!ng Cycleway! #Cycleway1

Anyone know what's up with the signal phases at the Balls Pond Rd / Culford Rd junction of #Cycleway1? The general traffic lanes are getting two phases on green, before cycles get a green. @islington-council.bsky.social @hackneycouncil.bsky.social @cycleislington.uk @hackneylcc.bsky.social?

And this is exactly why we should drive/ride slowly through residential streets.

Really not looking forward to these puddles turning into dangerous patches of ice when much colder weather comes. Keep reporting this to @hackneycouncil.bsky.social and nothing is ever done. #Cycleway1 on West Bank. @hackneylcc.bsky.social

It has to be said that when I cycle to places with my son, most drivers tend to be very polite and patient. But we still encounter drivers like this all too often, who can't even be bothered to follow simple rules.

The crap we have to put up with on #Cycleway1 beggars belief. Are you seriously happy with this @hackneycouncil.bsky.social @willnorman.co.uk?

This is what happens when every cyclist waits for the lights to turn green. They make it through, but the drivers behind don't. Not complaining! #Cycleway1

Sounds great. And it mostly is. But in reality, some of TfL's Cycleways look like this.

Walter Tull House, a recently completed Haringey Council housing development, with nothing done to combat the car dominated streets surrounding it. And with new car parking bays where a cycle lane could be. Notice the driver cutting the corner by driving on the pavement?

Another ride on the one and only #Cycleway1 route! To quote @willnorman.co.uk: "I do not agree that [C1] is not fit for purpose ... I firmly believe there is a place for back street routes like Cycleway 1 ..." I'm not sure there are many who would agree, what do you think @hackneylcc.bsky.social?

A TfL Cycleway should: A) be free of potholes/cracks; B) protect people from maniac drivers like this, who nearly pulled into my front wheel, was speeding and completely obstructed the cycle box at the lights. We've got to do better than this

Good old #Cycleway1. Driver blocking contraflow lane with parked car and other cars blocking ambulance on emergency call. But at least they've resurfaced the road! Thanks a bunch @hackneycouncil.bsky.social and TfL for this dreadful Cycleway route. This is fit for purpose is it @willnorman.co.uk?
