And this is a serious job that needs to be done. For those out of town, you may imagine London's towpaths like those near home. Disabuse yourself of the idea. Imagine London cyclists as the two-wheeled equivilant of their four-wheeled colleagues. Imagine in some places pedestrians as thick on the ground as your local High Street on a Saturday. Already rumble strips have been put down on the towpath, and markings painted, but this hasn't solved the problem. This is a serious accident waiting to happen, and some of us have been banging on about how something's going to have to be done to avoid some future court case which could cost BW a deal more than a half share in a few wardens.
