As you arrive at the roundabout you choose which side of the cones to go on depending on whether you are turning left or taking the straight on or right… Continue reading London Wall/Museum of London roundabout changes only protect left turning cyclists

BBC London News highlighting confusion of Bow traffic lights
The BBC London news this evening (27 January 2014), had a segment on the new eye level cycle lights being introduced at Bow Roundabout today.

Barnet Great Divide Ride Review
Last Sunday I went on the Barnet Great Divide Ride in North London. The roads up there do seem to be scarier than what I’m used to for London.
