The Euston Road in London isn't the most pleasant of avenues at the best of times but it was made much better for London's cyclists by the addition of a pop-up cycle lane. Sadly, it looks as if this is set to go.
During lockdown lots of pop-up cycle lanes appeared as many wanted an alternative to the car, bus and tube. I think they are great but as the numbers of people using cars increases they might well be removed one by one - if not several at a time.
I have always avoided Euston Road as it is horrid to use on a bike however even I used it a few times purely because of the cycle lane.
These pop-up lanes were of course meant to be temporary and I think this one would have gone anyway next year due to work being carried out on the new HS2 railway line.
It is of course a shame and I just hope that they do not get rid of the cycle lane on Park Lane anytime soon...
Stay safe out there people!!
