2011-06-28 - Rider Down, Hammersmith Roundabout

Hey Oliver, this is soon going to be part of my daily commute and I have to admit, it's the only part of the ride that I'm dubious about. I can't imagine how they could possibly make it safer for cyclists, though I wish they would.

It should be returned to two-way operation and greatly reduced in motor traffic capacity. It can be demonstrated on a base plan how this could be done, but given the enormity of changes required there, that would take a while. If you're worried about riding through it, do it with a cycle trainer sometime, assuming you haven't had cycle training, and assuming that you'll be ready for Level 3.
