Kensington and Chelsea are going to allow cyclists to cycle the wrong way up one-way streets. They seem to take the attitude that they do it anyway and it does not cause any problems with cars. and if the idea is a success hope it will be rolled out over the rest of London.
Hang on a minute think about this cycles are almost silent. Down a one way street a pedestrian looks in the direction of the oncoming traffic steps into road gets hit by a bike going the wrong way. Who's fault is that going to be.
Kensington and Chelsea are completely ignoring the safety of people on foot who daily get sent running for safety when cyclists ignore the rules of the road, by cycling the wrong way, jumping lights, ignoring pedestrian crossings and mounting the pavement when the traffic gets in their way. I have been hit by a bike on the bloody pavement in the past!
People will get hurt and cyclists will blame everyone but themselves. Think again!
