| Comment | If the cycle lane isn’t being used, there is always … yes ALWAYS - a reason.
Such as -
- it leads nowhere
- it isn’t in the direction the cyclist is going (e.g. if they need a right turn
- it is poorly maintained - full of pot holes cause by previous car journeys, or broken glass
- it is unsafe in another way - right next to parked cars, for example
- it’s incredibly bumpy verses the smooth road surface next to it. We all pay for roads through general taxation so it seems only fair that if the cycling provision is unacceptable, that the cyclist use the road next to it.
- it is not a true cycle lane at all - it is just paint, which provides no safety whatsoever and actually encourages unsafe overtaking
If it bothers you, I advise joining us in campaigning for properly maintained, well designed separate, cycle lanes |
