Karen, I'm told:"The width of an adapted cycle will be no greater than 0.9m (a standard bike is around 0.6m) and, given that the track is never less than 2.5m wide there is plenty of space for all types of cycle.At the section with the tightest turn– the crossing with Boston Manor Tube Station - the track has been widened to 3m to create the required space. For two adapted cycles to pass, there may be times when one needs to give way to another, and the layout provides plenty of opportunity for this to happen, together with good visibility of oncoming cyclist, to allow early decisions to be made."I believe the station end will be completed today, which leaves only the section outside GSK. In my experience, the lane is already used by the majority of cyclists, even those going downhill but this is based on observation rather then preconception and as a politician it is obviously all lies anyway.As more people take to bicycles it will become better used, which was the point of building it in the first place (oh, and to save a few lives but who cares about that if you have to spend 30 secs behind a bus at a stop)
