"More than 1000 people have signed a petition in just five days opposing what they say is a 'catastrophically ill-planned' cycling superhighway, which they say will cause traffic gridlock in Swiss Cottage and the surrounding area.
"Transport for London (TfL) is consulting on the plans which will create dedicated cycling lanes between Swiss Cottage and Portland Place in the West End.
"But critics say the scheme is a 'vanity project' to enable Mayor Boris Johnson to leave London a 'cycling legacy', and claim there are not enough cyclists using the roads to warrant the upheaval they believe it will cause.
"The petition was started last weekend by Childs Hill resident, David Howard, who claims the scheme will wreak havoc for drivers and public transport users in Finchley Road, Swiss Cottage, Avenue Road, Regents Park, St John's Wood and Baker Street."
