Right, just seen an item on the news about London's new cycling super highway which has opened from Merton to the City and then on to East London.
They are supposed to make cycling safer which is obviously good and are wider and brighter (which is perhaps key) than the regular cycle lanes in London. Now I don't mind cyclists but I can see there being big problems with these super highways. Motor traffic will be forced in to smaller ammounts of the road, cyclists themselves will still be at risk because traffic will still pull out of side roads and of course buses will need to pull into the lanes (which are on the pavement side of the road much of the time)to use bus stops to allow passengers on.
