Oh right, obviously a major issue.

For those who want to cross the river it is, yes.

Unless you live on one bank and need to get to somewhere on the other
bank you'll be using some form of transport so I fail to see the problem.
In central london where people do walk across the river to get around then
there is no shortage of bridges.

Are you claiming there is no demand for viable pedestrian river
crossings between Tower Bridge and the QEII Bridge?

The Queen Elizabeth II Bridge is closed to pedestrians.

I can't imagine too many people walking 20 miles out into essex to cross
the river even if it wasn't , can you?

South of the river, the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge is a mere 2 miles
from London (the political district). Even on the north bank it's just
3 or 4 miles.

The QE2 bridge is essentially in the middle of an industrial wasteland
so apart from perhaps employees at an oil storage depot wanting to walk
2 miles bluewater I'm afraid I'm at a loss as to why anyone would want to
cross the bridge on foot anyway. Perhaps their car has broken down?

Perhaps it's just as well few people would want to walk across - as
they can't.

However, let us not forget that the London Loop has to take walkers
from Dartford to the Gravesend-Tilbury Ferry to cross the river - at a
cost considerably higher than taking a car through the Dartford
Crossing.

Is there still nobody who will take me up on my wager that the cable
car will be taking its first public passengers before 21 June 2012?


I have even heard that some sad *******s are going to try and be the first one
across.

I doubt I could be the first across, but I could be the first member
of public across with a bike.

I suppose that they have to get some recognition somehow.

I'll post an areial photo for you to get jealous about.

Lets hope the driver's learnt his lesson.

Indeed - "beeping" at a cyclist - outrageous.

Too right, poor defenceless creatures.

Great move Mr Cyclist: I love doing that sort of thing, particularly
electric mirrors. Don't ****ing hoot at me. Dave you would call any
cyclist a ****, you said. I am cycling in penrith tomorrow. Let's see
you do it.

Has anyone taken up your offer of a bet on the completion date for the
flying circus wire yet?

I was walking along a towpath at lunch today and some knob on a bike
came up behind me and missed me by inches. No bell or anything. If I'd have
turned suddenly or deviated from the direction I was walking in the stupid
**** would have gone in the canal and I'd have had a torn jacket.
Wtf is wrong with these people?

B2003

I think they learnt to ride a bike at twelve and somehow they have never
been able to move on.

The only time I use my horn is to let others know of my presence, now
what is wrong with that?

Nope. And the Medway Bottlejob declined my kind offer to challenge him
to construct a piece of IKEA furniture - even after he altered the
terms an conditions of the challenge to suit himself.

According to my transmission schedule he is around 30 minutes late
with his daily tirade of abuse.
Maybe he has a difficult jobby that just won't shift somewhere in a
nearby Chav (Chatham) council flat :-)
