Although I lived in London for years, I never rode a bike there (except for the London-Brighton race, but that doesn’t really count), mainly because it seemed like an impossible task. Not only was the traffic terrible, but the bike lanes were either a) non-existant, b) filled with cars or c) too short, narrow or poorly located to be of any use. Seems I wasn’t alone in thinking that. An activist group in the UK, out of Warrington, has just launched a new book, “Crap Cycle Lanes.” It’s a collection of the 50 worst cycle lanes in the UK.
