In a wide main road like Euston Road, a bendi-bus pulls in
regardless of cyclists riding where they should, close to the kerb.
They are then almost impossible to pass safely. I suggest you try it
sometime instead of pontificating.

Arguably anyone cycling along the Euston Road is asking for trouble,
given the bendy buses that use that road and the car and white vans
weaving about all over the place. There are plenty of much quieter
parallel roads to choose from for any cyclist that values their life,
even if a couple more junctions are involved and it takes a few
minuites extra!

Not between King's Cross station and Judd Street. Now, if Argyle St (I
thin that's the name) allowed two way cycling and a cycle route across
the Euston Road were signalled it would be easier but it would be too
complicated for Camden to provide cycling facilities that work in two
directions, apparently.
