What's going on ...on the Bath to Bristol cycle track

Regular commuters on this popular route must be as perplexed as I am by the attitude of the council to smoothing out and fixing the bumps that have started to spring up along particularly the Bristol side of the cycle track ( that bit near Morrisons is like riding a rollercoaster :evil: ) Some 2 years ago yellow marks appeared highlighting the "bad" bits of the cycle track presumably with the intention of fixing them......nothing happened and the lines finally faded over time. Now in the past few weeks green marks have appeared again highlighting the "bad" bits....so far nothing has happened. What really p***es me off is Sustrans have received all this money/awards etc and are talking about great schemes ie cycles in the city for hire....but why not get the present cycle track in order, bits of it clearly need some love and attention. I for one am rather fed up bouncing over a somewhat uneven surface (in parts) So don't just mark the bad parts with green or yellow....get out there and fix them!!!! :twisted:

Not sure who you are ranting about?
Are you complaining re council or re sustrans or do you not have a clue who is at fault so you are blaming anyone & everyone?

Surely you must be aware that in order to effect repairs of this nature, both a council and a funding body (where external funding is applicable) must be in cooperation? I thought the rant was quite clear.

Hopefully the extra funds will be able to provide both of us with satisfactory solutions.

Given that the Railway Path is Sustrans' first and flagship path, and they are Bristol based, and Bristol is now the first cycling city, something really should be done. If they can't get that right, what hope...?
