Lot's of cyclists in London this week

[Earl Aelfheah]

The cycle Lanes of central London were absolutely packed yesterday as people found alternatives to the tube. Proper rush hour bike congestion in some places! Lime must have had one of their best days for rentals I would imagine.

Great to see so many taking to two wheels - perhaps having discovered how easy it is to get around by bike, some will be encouraged to stick with it.

I noticed that - at one of the junctions on the way into town around Kennington Park, there were 35 - 40 cyclists queued up waiting for the lights. I also think some motorists in the traffic- jammed adjacent cars might take note, it was clearly the quickest way to get around yesterday apart from the train. The traffic was so heavy on Brixton Road that initially forgetting there was a strike on, I thought there had been an accident up ahead - it was solid.
