Just for once I actually bothered to click on one of your never ending
links.
Is that turd on the bicycle you?

[Alycidon]

Since I have never worn a silly plastic hat, no.

Ah... yes... of course...

...the daily commuter grind from the Tower of London to Tate Britain
(Millbank).

There are so *many* *thousands* of people who live at Tower Hill and use
their cars to go to work at Millbank, aren't there?

I wonder whether the bike would beat the car over a more realistic road
commute - say - Brentwood to Ilford? Or perhaps Guildford to Tolworth?
Arkley to Enfield?

[JNugent]

Harry Wallop is usually involved in more honest endeavours.

His lending his name to a bogus "commute" from Cable Street to Millbank
does him no favours.

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

Why did he post a link which tells us that cycle lanes are making congestion worse? I didn't realise Simon was that dopey.

Any London road commute would be much faster if the cycle lanes were
removed.

Actually the article suggests motorists mired in motor vehicle traffic are trying to scape goat cyclists when the real problem is too many motorists.

Traffic fatalities are up 10% in the U.S. because of low fuel prices -- too many motorists on the freeways -- not because of cyclists.

The Daily Mail is well known as being a rag that winds up its core readership by pulling certain strings, cyclists being just one.

Express is even worse.

[MrCheerful]

I agree, the bus lanes are a major hold up everywhere, not aided at all
by their extremely variable operation times.
However, adding on the cycle lanes was the equivalent of pouring treacle
into an old clock.
London has now stopped, and cannot be easily traversed at any time of
the day.

I was in London last week and after 6 hours of walking at 1500 I had had enough. Luckily, there were dozens of taxis gridlocked around the theatre district, so I just strolled along a queue until I found a spare cab and £20 later I was at King's X and back home at 1830.

[Bod]

Wrong, I picked up some of my family at St Pancras/Kings Cross a few
months back. It took me 40 minutes from Berkshire to the station, I left
at 6.30pm. You exaggerate.

[MrCheerful]

I think you are the one exaggerating, your time would give an average
speed of 60 mph for the whole journey (assuming you are travelling from
the near edge of Berkshire. Even top, speed cyclists have a job to
reach such a speed on a track. Was it a family of mice you were picking up?

[Bod]

The A40 most of the way and travelling at a rough average of 40mph for
most of the way. It was one of my sons/his wife & two grandkids.

.
It also debunks your wild claim that I would've had to average 60mph.

[Bod]

Here's the same route from the other direction. There was very little
traffic:

[JNugent]

Does the A40 now pass through Berkshire?

It's so hard to keep up with local government reorganisation.

[JNugent]

£20 from Shaftesbury Avenue (the end farthest south) to King's Cross
Station (2.4 miles)?

That's some congestion.

Time that taxis were allowed to use the cycle superhighways.

[Bod]

>No it doesn't. Why do you ask?

[JNugent]

Have a guess.

[Bod]

Get someone to show you how to Google.
If you can't manage that, then find and click the links that you've
deleted showing the A40 route that I posted.

[MrCheerful]

I was taking Bracknell as a starting point. 6.30 in the evening going
into town is scarcely normal commute. I am still impressed that you can
ride so fast (34mph average) over such a distance.

and traverse means to cross, not go halfway and then back

[MrCheerful]

If the taxis were gridlocked then there was no point getting in one, and
where was his viable transport?

[JNugent]

I already knew, but wanted an answer from you.

You must be able to see why.

[mycro...@gmail.com]

So what?
The limited road space has to be shared between all types of road users.
If that means less space for cars then tough.
If you chose to travel alone in a vehicle designed to carry 5 people + cargo with a grossly over engineered power plant then you bring congestion on yourself.

[MrCheerful]

All the traffic, including bicycles, could move better if the cycle
lanes were removed . If bicycles cannot mix with the London traffic
(which is often moving at cycle speed) then they are clearly not viable
transport, and should be phased out.

The A40 does not enter Berkshire at any point.

Bicycles are not the cause of congestion.
If motor vehicles cannot mix with traditional London Traffic( pedestrians, equestrians and cyclists), then motor vehicles should be phased out.

Stupid people from Hull drive 60 miles west to Sheffield just because they think that the M1 is the shortest way to London.

I cut out 50 miles by doing Humber Bridge, Scunthorpe, A15, A46 to Newark, A1 to Hendon.

I did not say that bicycles are the cause of the congestion, but that
cycle lanes have reduced the road capacity making the congestion worse
than it was.
Before the cycle lanes, average traffic speeds were higher.

Bicycles are very viable transport for many things.

[Peter Keller]

Pot. kettle black.

[Bod]

The advantages of using a bicycle:

1. They don't need filling with fuel/oil etc.
2. No tax required.
3. No insurance required.
4. You can enter bus lanes.
5. Can be parked virtually anyware.
5. 50% less chance of a puncture (only two wheels)
6. Keeps you fit.
7. No yearly MOT.
8. Can't be nicked for speeding.
9. Traffic jams do not slow you down.
10.Can be used on most terrain.
11.Makes you more handsome.

ps: *No.11 needs verifying*

So, all in all, there are many advantages.

It's always amazed me that so many people have no perception of distance.

I lived most of my childhood in the Blackwater Valley, which has, for
example, Bracknell, Slough and Reading only a few miles away to the north
east, north and north west.

Yet as a child, we'd go to Salisbury, Exeter, Guildford, Portsmouth but
never Reading etc.

Indeed, despite living only 15 miles away, I never went to Basingstoke
until after I was 21, but would be in Guildford pretty much every
weekend.

Now, I see no issue with jumping in the car for an 80 mile run to my
girlfriend, mostly Motorway, or going to Scotland for the day to see
relatives. And no, I live south of the Thames.

[MrCheerful]

only for a tiny subset of journeys, times, weather, purpose and use

Maybe it does need to be shared, but as you well know, that's not what

You clearly ought to know that the roads are not "shared between all

But you claim not to know it.

You do.
Without light stable isotope geochemistry oil supplies would have run out decades ago.

Given that a person using a car requires something like 10 times the
space of any other mode, if Nugent wants road users to have equal
shares, he should be careful about what he wishes for.

[JNugent]

Who said anything about equal shares?

Only you.

And you know how much I value your opinion.

[TMS320]

My reply was to mycroftxx10. Why reply when you have nothing to add?

[JNugent]

But you deceitfully attempted to attribute a view to me which I do not

I will use the spare cash to save for a £25000 motorhome so I can spend all summer in Bosnia and Albania using cheap Diesel and food like the Dutch do.

Nope as I drive up the arris of HGVs at 56 mph and get 38 mph.

38 isn't particularly good.

Actually, 38 is more or less cock on for the 2.2JTS out of town.
Glad I didn't get the 3.2 V6.

Damn sight more than my 22mpg.

You can almost feel the intense sexual tension between them ;-)

[Bod]

Sounds good to me. Mine is a 2.2 (petrol though) and only get 22.
28 on a long run

[James Wilkinson Sword]

That was my original point - you bought the wrong car for economy. People are getting 80mpg nowadays.

Not with a car that has 185 BHP you don't.

I bought my car as an Autobahn mile muncher, not a cheap runaround.
