Its a shame a lot of cycle infrastructure is designed to get bikes off the road rather than to make cycling better. It would help if they consulted people who actaully cycle when they plan these things.Dr C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10234078254243840589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919432872771641105.post-51460675022847655742010-07-05T12:37:29.003+01:002010-07-05T12:37:29.003+01:00we've noticed too how dysfunctional the cyclin...we've noticed too how dysfunctional the cycling infrastructure around here is! It's really baffling, as it's disjointed, eery (I wouldn't cycle there, there's never a soul in sight!) and completely isolated from the rest of Greater Manchester... how do they think people can get there by bike? Also as we can't take bikes on the metrolink either? I guess at least they've tried to incorporate the cyclist and not just the driver, but with such bad outcome I think they should, perhaps, just concentrate in providing & maintaining decent/safe/smooth roads (since they aren't very good at that either)... holland and denmark make it look so easy... ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
