Rockets Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 DKHB - are you still trying to claim that traffic in London was slower years ago? Where are you getting this data from? There is another option - maybe take into consideration that around 11% of all London daily journeys are taken by bus whilst only around 3% are by bike. Stop closing bus lane infrastructure to facilitate bike infrastructure as the bike "revolution" - with all the millions of £ invested in it and only an 11% rise between 2020 - 2022 - is not clearly happening. Time for transport planners in London to have a complete reset and base London traffic planning on a realistic future outlook instead of this utter obsession that somehow London is going to magically turn into a cycle-centric city. It won't and their fanatical obsession with it is killing the city. 3 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/327661-electric-bikes-being-ridden-on-pavements/page/3/#findComment-1627877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzer Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 The crawl from Camberwell to Vauxhall which ever bus route you use is also a mare, after about 6.30am 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/327661-electric-bikes-being-ridden-on-pavements/page/3/#findComment-1627892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vladi Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 It's not just bikes! Today, I was walking towards the Village when my right shoulder was brushed from behind by a lightweight 4 wheeled electric van - similar to a Tuk Tuk but bigger. Totally silent and taking up 60% of the pavement width. It was sign-written with branding "Green-Power Works". The driver had mounted the pavement to under-cut the backed up traffic at the DV/Turney Rd junction. On reaching Gilkes Place it cut across the traffic, went to the front of the queue then turned right into Turney Road. Kicking myself for not having my phone with me!

Rockets Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 That guy rides like an idiot. Often see, him bombing across Turney and up Calton….never looks like he is completely in control of it and riding way too fast - dunno what he has in the back but the speed he hits speed bumps I hope it’s not fragile….
