To celebrate Easter, come join IBikeLondon for a free fun and sociable bike ride around East London.
We will meet at 10:30am on Saturday 30th March at St Paul’s Church Yard, on the steps in front of the cathedral (postcode: EC4M) and the ride will start at 11:00am. It should take around 2 hours to complete and the pace will be relaxed.
After going through the City, we will head to Canary Wharf cycling along the Thames. We will cross the river through the Greenwich Foot Tunnel and follow the Thames path until Bermondsey. We will end up at the pub, the Angel (101 Bermondsey Wall East, Rotherhithe, London SE16 4NB). After this, some of us will go to a street party celebrating cycling in Lambeth, the ‘Launch of the Van Gogh Walk’, so you are very welcomed to join.
The route covers 20 kilometres (12 miles) and is flat most of the way. If you have a GPS or a smartphone we recommend downloading the route map onto your device. We will hand out small maps at the start.

Things to know: Everyone can join. We do not provide the bikes. For your safety we recommend wearing a helmet, but you’re free not to. We are careful on the road, we pause at stop signs and lights so we don’t disturb other road users. Make sure you bring food and drink with you. We will provide mechanical assistance if needed.

The truth is than in the Netherlands that I saw them, they were indeed a bit huge for cycle infra. However they were rather rare.
Race you there!
Those calipers arent the prettiest. Makes them look like Post-mount.
I'm all for a much more socialist approach to the sorts of things you mention, where there are clear market failures and a need for decent...

12 corners in just over 2km is a terrifying prospect if it rains!

As it's often said -'the way to justify the building of a bridge is not too count the number of people swimming the crocodile infested river!'
I used to go that way to work. It's nasty and congested. I doubt any changes will make the congestion worse.
