Anyone know who is responsible for Kew Bridge itself? Its on the border between Hounslow and Richmond, but I think might be maintained by TFL. Every time I ride it I get more annoyed at how rubbish it is. Multiple lanes for motor vehicles, while cyclists and pedestrians have to share a thin strip on either side, which doesn't work for all the usual reasons shared paths don't work, not to mention the fact theres usually a gaggle of people waiting at bus stops.
On the plus side, now we have Wellesley road as an LTN, no one in their right mind would argue to turn it back into a rat run.

Just been on a car journey 15 miles of which on the north circular. Now have a horrible taste in my mouth and mild headache. Really opened my eyes to the harm that it must do if you live there.

Bought a brand new pair of Shimano RS330s. The rear is making a noise every rotation a bit like a proper deep section rim i.e."womp womp". It doesn't sound gritty, the wheel spins completely freely and there's no play in the hub. I think it's coming from the hub, although the sound reverberates up to the rim. So far I've tried:
Checked nothing's rubbing
Tried it without the tire
Inspected the rim for objects etc
Checked no spokes are loose.
Checked for play in bearings
Tried backing off the cone slightly in case bearing was too loaded
Tried doing the quick release up very lightlyCould anything else be causing the noise or am I going to have to inspect and potentially overhaul the bearings on a brand new wheel?

I didn't read it that way. Does it matter, so long as they realise the problem now and are pro changing the status quo ( as the piece goes on to state)?

Interesting piece on the possibility the petrol crisis could make people question the dominance of motor vehicles

It seems to be eccentric on that it is not the same circumference all the way around, there is a ridged section. I can't see how it is supposed to work. Surely both the inner and outer surfaces have to be completely circular?

Looks like a similar incident yesterday in RP.
You're right.
It's a joke. On the left of the northbound side there are signs for the various cycle routes (east and west). Who does TFL think are reading those signs? Even as an experienced rider I have no desire to mix it with the 2 lanes of heavy traffic going northb0und.
I vaguely thought TFL were supposed to be doing good things.
