There's less traffic but it's going faster. Obvious really. Give cars more space and they go faster. Community Speedwatch is a joint effort between TfL, the Met, and community volunteers to slow the traffic down to legal speeds.

You can join in and it's fun. The reaction from passers-by is very positive. From car drivers less so. You can be the community volunteer and suggest best (most dangerous) places and times. Organiser PCSO Kevin Phillips will investigate and accommodate all-comers if he can. Take a look at the attached schedule for February 2022. To volunteer email [email protected]. He's friendly and affable. Give it a go.

  I disagree, it was pretty filthy back then, plus the issues that Southwark have had were the ones left by EA.

  I've been cycling in London for decades. The two times a vehicle knocked me off my bicycle, were in conditions that were well lit (one was daylight) and the night time one was just me and the vehicle on the road. Both the driver's fault. The point it that most drivers are perfectly capable of seeing a bicycle in most conditions, just as they are capable of seeing a child or dog run out in front of them. Who knows why a small percentage are incapable of doing that, but gaslighting the victim is not the answer. Are there wreckless cyclists? Sure. Just as there are reckless drivers and pedestrians. But it's worth remembering that millions of roads users navigate their journeys perfectly safely every day. As a driver, you are taught to check your mirrors regularly (not just when considering an manoevre), and the first rule of the Highway Code, is to always avoid an accident if you can. My attitude when using the roads it to always expect someone to do something stupid/ wreckless. I look for it. That is the best way of avoiding any accident, no matter what form of transport you use.
