A cyclist's view of London's notorious Cycle Superhighway 2

Video    Guardian    15 November 2013

 

Three of the five cyclists killed recently in London

died on or near Cycle Superhighway 2,

a cycle-path route running from Aldgate in the City

to Stratford in the east of the capital.

 

Rigged with a camera mounted on his helmet

and another on his bike,

Peter Walker rides the route.

 

It takes in some of London's worst cycle infrastructure

- lorry-choked roads and just a blue-painted lane for protection

and the best, with a new, fully segregated section at the end.
