| The A4 cycleway between here and Hounslow is OK bar the Ealing Road and Syon Lane junctions. Of course it could be improved and TfL are proposing to do that (but in a manner that does not address the real problems IMO - I have written to tell them so, as I believe have Hounslow Cycling) But it is completely irrelevant to the hundreds of cyclists that use Brentford High Street, Kew Bridge Road and Chiswick High Road daily. They are going from Hounslow or Isleworth or Brentford to Chiswick or Hammersmith or Kensington or the city centre. The A4, for all it's cycling infrastructure, is practically bereft of cyclists between Hounslow and Hammersmith because it doesn't link where people want to go. It would be lovely to have the cycle lanes upgraded but it would tempt nobody off Brentford High St, CHR etc: it's a complete red herring. About the one thing I would applaud Boris Johnson for is starting off the CS schemes (including this one!) And yes, it will be (if built) for cyclists of all political parties, ages, colours and creeds |
