A cycle contraflow here (instead of parking) would open up access to Paddington station.
Bicycles and motorbikes fished out the canal
New contraflow cycle lane, blocked by a Royal Mail van which forces cyclists out into oncoming traffic.
I can't tell how much this is roadworks and how much it's a covid-19 pop-up cycle facility.
