Conveniently located only a short distance north of the City of London, construction has begun on this first Dutch style cycle point. If successful, hopefully we'll get more of them either nearer to central London or even on the further outskirts of London.

Hopefully this will increase the overall take up of cycling in London and other places other than London if, indeed, there are any :lol:

Anyway, lets hope this works and is then applied to other big stations around the UK. If it improves our lamentably poor rate of cyle journeys (see table in the brochure - we can't blame it all on a few hilly cities) it will be worth every penny of the cost.

    Well I thought so but obviously not - they're too clever to fall for it :lol:

    Where's the cycle point based? I can't find out anything about it. Would be good to find out more. Thanks
