I'm more intrigued by how they think they can enforce the ban on cyclists using them (at least the ones cyclists might want to use).

The police pull them over and book them.

The police seem to be on a purge of booking cyclist jumping red lights at the moment, I guess they don't want all the overseas officials seeing Londoners disregard for red lights

What I'd like to know is who is Lisa Simpson going down on in that logo in the top left hand of the page?

It looks like Bart with his head leaning backwards.

Love how you're not allowed to take water or drinks in. Let me guess, they have their own stands selling 500ml bottles of Evian and 330ml bottles of Coke for £2.80 per bottle. Hot dog with onions £6, sachet of mustard or ketchup 50p each.

Road markings that don't comply with the highway code and aren't listed here: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2002/3113/contents/made aren't supposed to be enforceable, was my understanding.

Providing the council or who ever have implemented these lanes have authorisation for the different road markings from the Dept for Transport they can have whatever road markings they like, the ones set out in your link are the general set used by councils etc, these can be altered if permission is sought and granted.

Whilst I'm broadly supportive of The McDonalds-Visa Games (tm, c etc etc), I don't like how the hard working taxpayers who have paid for all of this are now quite literally being shoved to one side to make room for the elite.

And on top of that many residents in this area (Esher, Walton on Thames etc) will be 'kettled' all day on Aug 1 because they are shutting our roads at 5.30 am for a cycle time trial that starts 5 hours later. This includes roads to our railway station.Workers eirher lose a days pay or a day of their holiday allowance. Except Elmbridge Council workers who get a paid holiday.
