I just want to link to this since it contains several images which help explain the plans:

Kind of similar to Denmark but obviously they've already rolled out very extensive cycling infrastructure. This would be some of London's first.

They have plenty of room, but they still use an inferior design for the bus stop in photo 3. The 50 year old Dutch design already was better (https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2013/09/05/riding-around-...), let alone the modern ones (in the video)

crossrail for bikes apparently means segregated bike lanes

I wish sf would do this; for all they claim to be bike friendly riding in sf is still incredibly dangerous and drivers can kill bikers and often not even get ticketed.

For some reason plenty of people in London have ambitious cycling infrastructure projects, check out SkyCycle: http://www.architecture.io/talks/sam-martin-a-divergent-city...
