Cyclist injuries dropped by half after “hated” cycle lane installed, but mayor still claims scrapped lane largely used as “bike run” for drug dealers to “get through traffic"

Curse you, drug dealers who don't get stuck in traffic! You're stealing all those uber flash jobs!

Losing a piece of bike infra always hurts, but the 20mph speed limit is very nice if people stick within 5-10mph of it. Crazy that something that dropped bike collisions so much could be torn out though. They're blindly murdering someone for parking spaces.

Speed limits are higher out here and the way it usual works out where I live is.

<30mph - ride in the road <40mph - ride in bike lane if present, on the pavement if not 😈 (actually legal here) <55mph - separated paths only 55+ - too much noise, avoid
