The decision by a London council to pull down a £320,000 cycle lane just seven weeks after it opened is to be revisited.

Kensington and Chelsea council pulled the bike lane after receiving 322 complaints, which constitutes just 0.2 per cent of the borough’s population, saying it was causing congestion.

Hi. I'm Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor. I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.


Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).


I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
