NYC DOT L@@K

Nice campaign from New York City’s Department of Transport highlighting cyclists (yes, I know, I’m turning into Safety Pierre…)

Fixed gear chainring stall

Probably the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.

No, wait… this is.

TfL’s new cycling page

…is actually not bad.

I was initially disappointed to find the “Cycling Journey Planner” looks like a lazy modification of the standard TfL journey planner, with the word “cycle” instead of “walk”. However, click on the “start” or “end” maps and it actually gives you a full cycle route breakdown, albeit in multi-page PDF format.  I found it suggested some ‘I didn’t realise that was there’ routes as well as a couple of unnecessarily road-avoiding ones. However, generally as an initial guide to cycling from one place to another in London without being too caught up in traffic, it’s pretty good.
