This is one meaning of "step free". Accessible by bicycle it
isn't. Not an LUL issue I accept, but relevant to the Thameslink
Midland Road box.

I'm confused: since when have bikes been banned from lifts on NR?

Do they even fit in the lifts provided? Liverpool Street had ramped
access. It was all removed and replaced not just by steps down but also
added steps up from the street before you can step down to the platform
level.

The question is, how will a cyclist arriving from or departing to
Cambridge at King's Cross Midland Road be able to get safely to and from
the road network? It varies from indifferent to positively dangerous at
present.
