Hi first time I've posted a topic. Hope of interest to you.
Local residents have installed 'cycle bumps' to slow down speeding cyclists. I'm off down to take a look to see how effective they actually are. The 'street' is more of an alley.

Has anyone else seen these things in their area? Do you think it's a sign of things to come?

They'll have to be quite lethal to bikes cause allot of bumps you can do well over 30 on a bicycle if you are careful.

I think they have just used a pic of some speed humps because these wouldnt slow me down. What I have found is that the newer speed bumps doesnt slow me down at all. I can comfortably hit them at over 20mph.

Note the pic, I wouldn't go over those at 30!
Plus, of course, the usual anti-cyclist censored in the comments.
Can some of you Londoners comment on how prevalent aggressive, illegal riding really is among city cyclists?
No wonder the roads are full of holes! Muppets in charge!
Do they not have something more constructive to spend money on?
