As promised, back to the home front now... and luckily, no one was using this cycle lane when a Morrison's delivery van ploughed straight through a segregating 'wand' on a pop-up cycle route in the district of Wood Green, Haringey.

A number of people have tried to bring the incident to the attention of the supermarket on social media. Toria Armstrong said: "@Morrisons do you think this is acceptable? Lucky it wasn't a person! Would your driver even notice if they had run over a person?"

Another argued that the wands are not fit for purpose, saying: "Tried to cycle down Station Road earlier and the W3 was crushing the wands. They’re clearly impractical.
@ContactHaringey could you please just install basic raised curb (SIC) cycle lanes? Safer for all, and a lot less wasteful.
