Mind the gap on Blackfriars Bridge


This is the roadworks at the north end of Blackfriars Bridge.


Having the mandatory cycle lane cut down to an optional one of half-width is bad enough, especially with the line of cones - as yet unliberated by drunk students - that squeezes you right up against those lorries chugging past.


But worse, those covers they've put down have nasty gaps in between, easily big enough to swallow a cycle tyre.


Still, if you do come off your bike here, don't worry: you haven't missed out on much - the bike lane just beyond is closed anyway.
