TfL are currently publicising a load of cycling route guides on
various tube stations posters / newspaper adverts etc. You may have
seen one with a cyclist with motion blur cycling past a pie and mash
shop.

Now if you next see that advert, see if you can spot what's wrong
with the picture. There's something that's just not right with it,
especially given who is promoting these cycling guides.

I'll post the answer on this newsgroup later.

The cyclist is riding on the wrong side of the road?

Correct. The cyclist is riding from right to left, with the bike wheels
almost in the gutter, next to the pavement, therefore they're on the wrong
side. Surely TfL should be promoting safe cycling, not cycling like the
idiot on the poster.

ahem you replied to the wrong person

One way road? Just before a right hand turn?

My fists are white from the straws I'm grasping.

Apologies - appears my newsreader threading was wrong the first time (it
is v0.5 still ) or my sight is worse than I thought...

Is the scene in a one way street?

Extra points if you can name the street and whether or not it is
actually a one-way street.

The pie & mash shop says "Traditional Since 189x" (the x is obscured by
the cyclist). That may mean that it's Goddard's of Greenwich or Robins
of East Ham, both of which started in 1890, I think. It's not Goddard's
(wrong design of shop front), so I'll guess it's Robins, which is at 105
High Street North, E6. As far as I can tell from information on the
web, there is a 1-way flow northbound at this point, and Robins is on
the west side, so the cyclist is going against the one-way flow.

That sounds like the cycle lane along Petty France. Road is eastbound
only, cycle lane is westbound only and on the north side.

All the on-road contraflow cycle lanes I can think of are on the left
side of the road. If you can remember, is there any obvious reason why
the lane in Petty France is on the right? Is it separated from the
main carriageway by a kerb or simply a white line?
