    It would be better if it went on the opposite side of every second lamp post. That said it looks like fun to me.

    The planners, engineers and authority that approved that path should all be sacked. :evil: :x What an appauling and obvious waste of public money

    It works perfectly fine if your idea of a "cyclist" is someone pootling along at 10mph, a pedestrian on a bike, if you will
    That is who councils cater "cycling facilities" to, that is the definition of a "cyclist" in councils up and down the country. It's a definition we need to change.

    That is nothing short of unbelievable!

    All those parking spaces, just waiting for doors to be flung open into the path of the cyclists who are trying to play by the rules and not ride on the pavement.

    Throw us a bone at least, we're trying to comply.

    Do you think they are parking spaces? The hashing looks to me like it's saying no parking - but the drivers have decided to anyway...ho-hum
