Fantastic footage from the Evening Standard's transport expert Ross Lydall (link is external) here...

Anyone manage to count the bikes? Like that advert where you have to count the basketball passes and completely miss the moonwalking bear, I got 44 here, but presumably missed a pancake-flipping giraffe in the process. Any advances on 44?

Jon Burke shared the footage too, alongside a quote from Danish architect and urban design consultant Jan Gehl... "If you invite more cars, you get more cars. If you make more bicycle infrastructure you get more bicycles. You get what you invite."

Elsewhere, on Kensington High Street where the cycle lanes were famously ripped out, London Cycling Campaign's Simon Munk noted... "The difference could not be more stark. A handful of giant SUVs crowding (not quite as) huge numbers of cyclists to bump along kerb, dodge between cars and vans and buses, most looking desperately stressed."

Food for thought...
