So I went out to the opening of the #C9 section in #Brentford, #London yesterday with my dog. He was such a hit that everyone asked us to join them in the publicity photos! #BikeTooter
Flight #C9-BAR (#BOEING 737-700) is squawking emergency (7700)!

Seeing a two people on a tandem, the rear person wearing a hi-viz labelled 'blind cylist' on #C9 this morning has made my day :-)
@velobetty one guy ran into the bike lane ran into the back of me because I'd slowed to a stop to let a pedestrian crossing at a zebra.
I'm sure he thinks I'm a terrible cyclist (shouted at me that I shouldn't have stopped), I think he's a terrible cyclist for not only seeing the pedestrian, but not keeping a safe stopping distance (and/or paying attention).
It's #C9. not the TdF peleton... (I do find more people try to draft behind me in July, until they realise how slow I am...).

Still some trouble at Weltje/Rivercourt and getting into Green Dragon Lane at Kew Bridge, but I'm really happy to finally make use of this link.
London's #Hammersmith & #Fulham Council #LBHF has published a proposed decision today to make permanent the King Street & gyratory "safer cycle pathway" (don't call it #cycleway #C9 #CW9).
Decision papers: http://democracy.lbhf.gov.uk/ieDecisionDetails.aspx?ID=4592
Big increases in numbers of people cycling since interim scheme was installed.
Further work needed to improve safety at some junctions, as drivers are continuing to put people cycling at risk.
Over the past two weeks, cycles using King St in Hammersmith have outnumbered cars during daylight hours! Now, the counter can't distinguish between pedal bikes and mopeds so some of these won't be cycle lane records, but nevertheless - wow!

This morning I HAVE to thank my pal Raman, who might well be the only person who is more intimately acquainted with the King St section of #C9 in Hammersmith than me. My kids & I see him *every single day*, diligently clearing leaves, broken glass & yes, Lime Bikes, out of the lane. He really cares about keeping it ship shape which makes a huge difference to everyone’s experience of using it. Thank you Raman, we appreciate you!
