Without this cycle track and bus stop bypass, these three female cyclists would have had to cycle in the bus lane and then around the parked bus, with another bus behind them. Even if they completed that safely, the experience would be stressful enough to make them never cycle that trip again.

Here's the reality of virtually all BSBS: no interactions with any bus users, VI or not, because chances of paths crossing are vanishingly small... and safe conditions for women and girls (and everyone else!) to access local amenities by bicycle with zero fear or risk of being crushed to death.

Here's the actual reality of a bus stop bypass, at any given time, on any given day. No interactions, no danger to pedestrians, VI or otherwise... but my wife, sister-in-law and daughter can independently and safely access local amenities without fear or risk of being crushed to death.

Top end of York Way cycle track is open with a lovely bit of machine-rolled asphalt and brand new parallel crossing. Thanks @camdencouncil.bsky.social (& @islington-council.bsky.social)

Glorious cycle into London today, and amazing to see the Tollington place cycleway essentially at capacity on a cold day in March... @camdencyclists.bsky.social we're gonna need a longer green phase! Get lobbying 🙂
