    There’s a safer but equally insane solution off some A-roads in the UK: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vsNMgsfYT7ooa39R9 .

    I’m all for expanding cycle networks across major roads, but the wider motorist mindset isn’t quite ready for it yet, particularly on my old commuting routines like these arterial routes into London. I’d love to see more cycle lanes but not at the cost of more injured or dead cyclists or scooter users.

      Unfortunately they’ll never be ready for it. The good news is that dangerous cycling lanes like these aren’t the only option. We should be investing in safe cycling infrastructure.
