London Safer Cycle Scheme starts today Tues 2nd 2015

Hopefully will be extended to the whole country? A start to make roads safer for us?

But I think the side guards need to be closer to the ground? and angled in such away as to push a cyclist away?

Suppose that this room is a lift. The support breaks and down we go with ever-increasing velocity.
Let us pass the time by performing physical experiments...

saw in the Evening Standard that Boris also intends to stop construction lorry drivers FROM TURNING LEFT and take more direct routes when delivering to construction sites and to avoid roads that are heavily used by cyclists ( his 3rd phase) with very severe penalties ie have the site shut down! I ll believe that when I see it!
