Thanks for watching and for the kind comment!

@Londoncycleroutes No problem. I remember staying in London back in the 60's and 70's. The city was always clouded with pollution from coal burning used for heating and excessive fumes. On some days, aircraft couldn't land at Heathrow all day due to smog and fog combined. Clean air in large mega cities is a blessing as it reduces terminal illnesses like lung cancer and heart disease. It's sad that the popular media now pushes a anti clean air agenda. Keep up the great work on the channel 👍

Thank you kindly!

Thank you, happy new year to you!

Thank you! Happy new year!

Thank you, plenty more where that came from!

Indeed!

Not really to be honest, it’s usually the standard Sheffield stands for public parking. It would be great to have some more secure options but I’m not really aware of any. For residential there are lockable cycle hangers and workplaces often have locked cycle stores but not really the same thing of course

you're in the right place then! if you need more help than the videos check out the Safe Cycle London map which I link in the description below the video, it's a great resource

Lmao thank you I’ve been working on my segues

Have you got a spot in one? They’re great but in high demand!

Do you have a space in one? They’re great but in high demand!

@@Londoncycleroutes I don't live in London but I did ask the former mayor of Birmingham whether there were any in Brum and he said he had never heard of them. I'm sure there are areas in the West Midlands that could make use of them.

@@samc6223 definitely, they're great in cities where people might not have much storage for a bike in their own home (or if they live in a flat and dont want to cart a bike up stairs every day)

That’s a great question, I think the answer is pretty complicated but in short - I think it would be hard to game. Often you’ll see traffic monitors on the street - little cables stretched across the road connected to a little armoured box (that’s a computer). That means a street is being actively monitored, usually because someone has a scheme in mind. Some routes like the embankment have permanent counters. I think overall cycling figures are also based on traffic surveys and I’m not sure how they work but I think they’re a representative sample rather than literally asking everyone.

Thanks a lot! Have a great 2025

Yeah it’s probably fine - one thing about a Blackfriars is C6 actually bends quite far east in the north, and it also has quite a few traffic lights - but it’s probably a more comfortable route

Thanks so much, very kind!

@@LondoncycleroutesThank you for these videos. I really think they are making a difference for us London cyclists.

Thanks so much and thanks for tuning in this year and leaving enjoyable comments!

It’s brilliant I need to go again

Honestly I’m not aware of anything but you never know

absolutely yeah! I think the current delay is TfL doesn’t want to dig io Streatham at the same time as Thames Water is digging up Tooting so they’re waiting for those works to finish before they start. It was meant to go ahead in November but it could be delayed again knowing what this lot are like

Keeping my fingers crossed

Good trivia thank you!

Happy new year to you too!

Thanks so much!

That would be a real Christmas present!

A great commute to have! happy new year

Good intel thank you! I think all the super sewer works are wrapping up early this year now so that makes sense. I went down Deptford church street myself to have a look last week and it’s coming on nicely!

Serendipity! I was just checking out artisan studios online in Hackney Wick before accessing this channel.

I’ll give that a go!

That bridge is essential- currently there’s no good cycling links across the river east of London Bridge!

Hope it brings back memories!

I’ll give it a go!

Welcome to the channel and thanks for commenting!

🙏

Haha

tricky one but I'll make a note and see what I can do!

You must be fit as a fiddle damn!

that's a pretty hefty daily cycle! happy new year

Yes every Tuesday to Saturday going to work but I take the train home from Liverpool Street station.

when I saw your username commenting on the other video I'd already recorded this with the Vortex and the beginning and I thought you might notice it! and yeah paralleling Grays Inn Road is perfectly doable, I mostly just wanted to show off the lanes!

thanks a lot of tuning in this year! always appreciate your comments

happy new year!

that's quite a name haha... if I ever cycle down that way I'll have to look it up!

hah that would have been a coincidence! glad the route is tried and tested by others too

She was hustling! It was only after my going back to get a better look at her machine, and those of others later in the vid, that it became apparent they were riding e-bikes. Although the e-bikes have become available here in Toronto to buttress the already highly successful bike rental fleet, 'civilians' (not couriers) don't usually travel that fast on them. The standard rental bikes weigh about 42 pounds, btw. Yikes, I realise they've morphed the use of bike infrastructure for many, but even a push-bike half that weight is still on the heavy side for me. lol...I'm old-school I guess. I'm in it more for the elan of cycling than just transport utility. Great vid as usual! I always feel I'm a bit more back in London every time I watch.

@@stephensaines7100 they are heavy yes! I think they're a good thing but it can be annoying to move the dockless ones on the pavement

my partner gets this but one is enough for me! I think it depends on how your circulation is hah

Same, especially if they get wet early on. I need to invest in some waterproof gloves!

yeah I really hope the permanent scheme and the junction improvements that'll come with the Clerkenwell Rd scheme make a difference, while welcome they're probably the worst protected cycle lanes Camden has done at the moment and as you say they get quite poor at the end

damnit I missed that one. it's a bug in Final Cut Pro that randomly crops my text to the first letter sometimes

@@Londoncycleroutes oh well, i don't think it really bothered anyone - and it made me comment/feed the algorithm, in any case : )

@@pcongre I'll have to insert more deliberate mistakes to boost engagement!

congratulations! and happy new year

thank you and happy new year!

It’s basically ready to go though they’ve delayed it so much I wouldn’t be surprised if construction gets kicked back by another couple of months!

I’ll see if there’s enough gear… might be annual but biannual could be doable

@Londoncycleroutes Happy New Year btw🎉

Yes a bit of consistency in the visual language would be nice

Cycling investment per head in England is about £10 a head a year... would I be happy to pay that, or even more to get better infrastructure? Sure no problem. I'm not sure levying it as a user charge would be a smart way to do it as the point of road user charging for cars is that it puts a price on causing congestion and reduces the number of journeys driven. whereas you'd want to encourage as many journeys as possible to be cycled as it means less traffic, less emissions, less need for land set aside for parking, etc. In principle I'd be happy to pay significant more than £7.60 a year to get improved infrastructure though

@Londoncycleroutes thats great and i totally get it. And I'm a big fan of increasing public infrastructure and making it free from a climate perspective but the reality is, tfl will now be charging electric cars so the emissions is not the reason for it but the non emission congestion is the issue. As a keen walker (i now only drive to get to my unit which is 45mins drive away in a rural area). I think its an interesting time and we need to be real that should we manage to reduce motor vehicle usage on the roads and get the majority of Londoners cycling, then either cyclists or everyone will be hit with the costs of maintaining the infrastructure. Thats why i support a phased in tax on all road users rather than slapped onto people at the last minute. Theres also the issue of raising costs to transport goods into London with higher fees for them to enter. Alot of these issues are things that people are ignoring or putting off until its too late to do something about.

@Londoncycleroutes i also think cyclists paying some form of usage tax would be a good counter to road users that complain about cyclists road usage. I'd also like to see safety changes like having to have helmets and lights but I'm sure that will come with time (the lack of lights on bikes is probably one of the biggest dangers I face when walking after dark, especially as we are forced to share the pavement.

Cycle lanes and LTNs cost peanuts, the biggest barrier is political will. If you don’t like London this probably isn’t the channel for you

​@@LondoncycleroutesThose who shout the loudest about poor public transport never actually use it. They are usually middle aged, frustrated with life in general and come on social media to vent their anger 😂😂

Thanks a lot, and you too
