At the "E-bike summit" organised by @Siobhain_Mc . Interesting to hear different perspectives, and good to hear commitment to making this great addition to Merton's transport choices work well for all.

Lime bikes in Wimbledon today. This is the official bike bay, several motorcycles parked illegally in it. Even taking those out, capacity nowhere near enough... 1/

New zebra crossing on Martin Way. More crossings=good, BUT there are big issues with the design.
No reason for a 2-stage crossing here. Much more costly due to refuge, extra belisha, keep-left signs. Cyclists report road danger due to road narrowing caused by the island...1/.

The ONLY cycle hire bay in Morden. Soon this'll be the ONLY place in central Morden you'll be allowed to park a hire bike (Lime/Forest). Dangerous and difficult to access, in the middle of the gyratory. Not near any of the shops. Capacity is 4 bikes. Really not good enough.

As predicted, the pothole "repair" done only a few months ago on Dorset Road has FAILED already. This is pretty typical of the shoddy work we see across the boro.
Poor pothole repairs put ppl in danger.

WHY WIMBLEDON BUSES ARE SO SLOW
Nose-to-tail traffic from Gap Rd junction back to Hartfield Cresc. It took a full 6 mins for my 131 bus to go 400m - on a Sunday PM. This is because: the bus lane stops where the tailback starts...1/
