Record Numbers Cycling: Is London’s Infrastructure Keeping Up? 🚲

Cycling in London is booming, with record numbers of people riding to work. On this journey from Hyde Park to the Embankment along one of London’s busiest cycle routes, we ask the question: Are we outgrowing the infrastructure? For this ride, we’re joined by cycling instructor and campaigner, Ben House. Along the way, we discuss parts of the route that work well, as well as sections where the cycleway becomes increasingly crowded as more and more people take to two wheels. Our final destination is the cycle counter on the Embankment, which records the number of riders passing by. And along the way, we’ll see the highest concentration of cyclists yet seen on The Eager Cyclist. 🚲 TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Intro 1:10 - Leaving Hyde Park 2:22 - Joining Constitution Hill 4:00 - Zeshan says hello! 4:45 - Approaching Parliament Square 5:31 - About Ben's work 6:08 - Onto the Embankment 7:06 - Reaching the cycle counter 8:01 - Thank you and please subscribe! 8:25 - Links to Films 19 & 20 IMPORTANT NOTE ON HOW YOU RIDE: This channel will show videos of cycling that intend to stimulate reflection and discussion on how we ride so we can all develop as riders. I cannot take responsibility for how you ride after you watch the videos. The cycling shown may not be suitable for all situations. Remember that you may need to be flexible when you ride and you should always adhere to the rules for cycling in your area. Cycle training with a qualified instructor can be invaluable, whatever your level of experience, so check out options in your area.
