Post deleted due to a misunderstanding. DUH. Indeed. No evidence has been produced on either side. I sometimes drive up Sydenham Hill when there is no traffic in either direction. I don't take that to mean that no vehicles ever use it, apart from me, and so there shouldn't be a road there at all! I often don't see pedestrians, either. So according to some people's logic, there shouldn't be a pavement. In any case, I'm not sure the actual numbers matter. Forgive me if I'm wrong, as I haven't been following the discussion closely, but wasn't the cycle lane supposed to be for safety reasons? -

But a number of posters have said that in their experience they hardly ever see a cyclist on that route. There does not seem to be any data on cycle usage. Stand to be corrected if you have it? -

It means people are pursuing culture wars by making stuff up based on their passionately held prejudices and acting as if it's a fact. See the OP and this as examples: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/365902-bloody-sydenham-hill/#findComment-1717782 -
I met them when they ran the Morpeth near Tate Britain, before they retired, and they moaned about running the Woodhouse. I don't recall them being grumpy when at the Woodhouse (apart from their mixed attitude to families), just not particularly helpful*. They'd get many more punters in on a lovely hot day but put no extra staff on, I could say more but I'd be getting too personal. Did love the place irrespective of them. I used to love the Clock in the old days, and the Buck in Petty France and the Royal Oak near Strutton Ground and the Morpeth. Common denominator is that they are all very different to when the Brewery was running and they were part of the Youngs estate.
