The Big Ride, promoting the LCC's Love London, Go Dutch campaign for safe streets for cycling, will meet in Hyde Park at 11.00am and aims to be a fabulous springtime day out in central London, suitable for all the family. The ride will end on Victoria Embankment around 2pm.
TfL has recently introduced changes to the A13/Blackwall Tunnel Approach.
The change involves adding a new pedestrian crossing to connect the Aberfeldy Housing Estate to East India Dock DLR station; and the removal of the bus lane on the A13 East India Dock Road. The excuse given for this is that the new pedestrian crossing would cause additional delays to traffic on the A13, so ways were sought to mitigate any increase in traffic journey times.
The London Cycling Campaign has launched its Love London, Go Dutch campaign calling for the creation of the same kind of cycle and people-friendly streets that they have in the Netherlands.
