In case you were thinking of driving anywhere on the weekend of Saturday 3rd / Sunday 4th August, probably best not to bother. Cycle race across Surrey...

Stuck on the M25 around 7pm coming back from near Warwick and luckily they were just opening the local roads so managed to cut across. Not sure I agree they can shut everywhere down like that.

really enjoyed the cycling today,once a year with plenty of notice should minimize problems.
roll on next year.
i think its great to have less cars on the road:D 

I had to travel to work in Aldershot had to go 10 miles out of my way from Fulham to get there ss couldent use a316 grr all clear on way home at 7

In the Independant headlining today was 'a great day for cyclist in london' which should have read
underneath 'a black day for motorist'.We had the olympics last year closing down Central London for
three weeks and the triathlon a few weeks ago ,the London Marathon in spring. It is not right closing
down a mayor commerce route in what is the greatest city in the world.And if the general public think they do not pay for these closures they are badly mistaken.Every time you call out a gas fitter ,electric ,or any other tradesmen the
parking charges,congestion chares ,parking fees ,eccess time getting to a job,all this is taken into consideration
when you get your bill.The saying is time is money. So next Boris enlist our help in getting hIm re-elected He will be told in
no uncertain Terms NO BORIS ,ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
And as a afterthought I have personally witnessed several accidents involving cyclist where two lanes have been taken
down to one by the introduction of a green cycle lane,and the cyclist have been crushed under the wheels of a lorry.
In Holland the cycle lanes are dead flat and I have been nearly hit by these bikes gouing 40 plus miles per hour.if you drive down the highway in narrow street wapping a one way street the bikes hurtle towards you the wrong way ,then you get them shaking coffee beans at you!

John... you forgot to write "RANT OVER" at the end of your post!
