Let's have a bit of reaction to the main story of the day...
A few people on Facebook wondered if the empty oncoming lane in the photo needs to be ripped out too? Mat Scalpello went further and wondered if the pavement should go too.
Kevin Blackburn made the point that what's more important than photos are the numbers..."You can take photos at chosen times to prove anything - the important things are, where they have them, to look at the counters! More bikes than cars pass many points!"
Under the blog, hawkinspeter wrote: "Everywhere I go, I see empty cars left parked on the sides of roads. We might as well turn over all the road space to bikes if drivers aren't bothering to use them."
Rendel Harris added: "Although Vine is well-intentioned in this instance, the message isn't really correct: he appears to be saying yes I know the cycle lanes are empty at the moment but you wait until people get more confident, whereas in fact the Tower Hill cycle lane is very heavily used by people working in the City and beyond, of course it's quiet during the day because they're all at work. Hopefully they will get even busier as more people realise how safely they can get around London with these lanes, but they are already more than justifying their existence, it doesn't "take time", it's already happened."
EK Spinner said: "The way I see it, the bike lanes are empty because the cyclists have completed their journey efficiently already, while the drivers are still stuck in a jam."
