    Part of the cycle superhighway on my part of the A10 has kerbs to stop cars getting onto the cycle lane. I couldn’t use it last time I was there because there were cars parked on it. The cycle superhighway is pointless. Half of it is on the pavements, so I have to use the (pothole-ridden) bus lane because I have better things to do than dodge pedestrians who can’t be bothered to look where they’re going.

    Anyway, even where there are cycle lanes, the babies are too lazy to cross the road to use it so they just cycle on the pavement.

    And during its construction, a bus I was on hit a cyclist and sent him flying because the driver didn’t want to wait until the roadworks were ending to overtake him (there were signs all down that part saying narrow lane, don’t overtake cyclists). And he didn’t even stop the bus until after the roadworks, and only because the passengers were yelling at him to stop.

    I tried to look up any news about that cyclist, but I couldn’t find any reports about the incident. I don’t think he was even wearing a helmet. I hope he was okay.
