I love it.  As I watched the blue streak whiz along by the motor traffic, I wondered if the London visionaries looked ahead, saw a day in the near future when motor traffic would be entirely grid locked and envisioned the only way out was to abandon the gridlocked motorways and start afresh with bikeways.  

Also, observe the excitement that a well-crafted plan can generate.  We already see the gridlock on Beechurst, 705, etc.  I hope BB visionaries will be inspired to develop the plan at http://bit.ly/eBhQpk

Saw this today on Treehugger.  I guess I can see an advantage to dedicated bike lanes if they get you past gridlocked traffic.
