A New Bike Lane That Could Save Lives and Make Cycling More Popular

Wow really? You spent 4 weeks in London and never saw a cyclist? Were you out in the suburbs? I spent a bunch of time in London and saw a TON of cyclists in central London. Many of them took the train out to where I was staying too (outside Brixton).

I also don't buy the "small apartments" thing. We live in a 650sq ft apartment and have 4 bikes hung up on our wall. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Not surprisingly, being London, the weather was lousy.

650 sq ft is a pretty large place by Korean standards. I expect by Tokyo or Singapore as well.

It was grey and lousy when I was there too :-) Still a lot of cyclists including my old coworkers.

I'd dare say we could fit 4 bikes in a much smaller place too. It's not the size of the place that's at debate here though.

It was so strange that I even remember one of the few riders I saw because he was using the DLR to get near the tower. I was curious if you could bring bikes on it and that answered my question.
