| Comment | I get your points about annoyance with fellow cyclists - but you also have to understand and appreciate just how limited the options are for people who want (or need) to travel by bike.
The network is so bare that inevitably less confident cyclists will end up on the road at some point. And inevitably they'll be waiting to continue through junctions, moving on at green lights with less than perfect acceleration profiles.
The alternative is that cyclists use pavements where there's no cycle network, but we all know the fury that unleashes as well.
There's no winning. It's a shit position to be in.
Fundamentally, the only way forward is having a fully connected city,-wide network of safe, segregated lanes. But until we reach that point, vehicle drivers need to appreciate the compromised, limited, and ultimately vulnerable position that many cyclists are in. |
