The popular Kensington High Street cycle route has been replaced by...parked cars 👏🏽
Shared space with more outdoor seating during COVID
@MikeyCycling @RBKC @mragilligan @willnorman @theJeremyVine First wands removed in front of Dutch embassy tonight https://t.co/Q3sKEubE49
To think the @RBKC might actually remove these bicycle lanes. These child friendly, eco positive, carbon neutral bicycle lanes. Surely not? #TheRoyalBoroughOfPetrolAndPollution #KensingtonHighStreet #SaveTheLane #CitizensAssemblies https://
The world’s first ambulance bicycle - exhibit at the Science Museum
Pedestrian priority at sideroads
Bicycles at the Science Museum
Automated delivery robot being displayed at the Science Museum. These create an obstruction for footway users.
New entrance courtyard at the V&A - plenty of space for cycle parking, but of course the design values are more important.
Quietway markings have appeared on Exhibition Road
Cycle stands and cycle lane.
Route signs for cyclists continuing from Holland Walk on the A402.
Cyclists Dismount sign at the top of Holland Walk, no dropped kerb or obvious way to continue.
Awkward place to put the cycle lane on Holland Park - and is that really meant to be wide enough for two-way cycling?
Southern end of the Holland Walk cycleway
Two-way cycleway on NCN route 4 past roadworks.
No pedestrians in the temporary cycle lane (NCN route 4)
The sign shows a contraflow cycle lane, but in fact it's a two-way lane (and NCN route 4).
Do Not Overtake Cyclists sign at roadworks - although cyclists can also use the shared-use footway.
Shared-use signs on NCN route 4 - perhaps it's a new Toucan crossing?
NCN route 4 passing beneath the Albert Bridge
Cycle routes right (NCN route 4 under the Albert Bridge) and left, to the bridge
Road works on NCN route 4
NCN route 4 on shared-use footway - and cycle parking on the pontoon for houseboat residents.
Right-turn lane on NCN route 4
It's not obvious, but the park bylaws on the rear of the sign indicate that cycling through to the King's Road is not allowed.
Bike-sharing station at the Chelsea Academy, but no ordinary bike parking visible.
It's really not very clear that NCN route 4 turns right here.

Whilst this cycle parking attached to a lamppost is fun and attractive, it indicates political failure to allocate proper space for cycle parking

The cycle stands at the junction of Cromwell Road/Queen’s Gate would have been installed by Transport for London as they are the highway authority where there are red no waiting lines and any request for additional cycle parki

Limited cycle parking for such a huge new Tesco.
Cycle contraflow, Earls' Court
Is there meant to be a cycle contraflow here? There's absolutely no signage to suggest it.
Cycle lane protecting parked cars
ASL and narrow feeder lane
Pedestrian / cycle subway
There are currently 5 bike stands here but it is a very busy location outside waitrose. This photo was taken at 9am and is full with 10 bikes. It is s very large open area of pavement that has more space available for more bike racks.

They wouldn't need this extra sign if there was any normal cycle parking in the neighbourhood - bizarre omission from the new Exhibition Road layout.
The new layout on Exhibition Road - Barclays Bike stations, lots of car parking, but virtually nothing for normal bikes to lock on to.
