Do this council ever think about how their cycle lanes will actually be USED by cyclists. Most of the time (whilst on my bike) I think that the council is just trying to meet some quote sent down from above. The cycle lanes along and around the Western Bypass are most definitely the worst around, especially the section along Hempsted Road. It's blatantly obvious that the man in charge has never set foot on a bicycle at rush hour in this area! I have seen quite a few accidents between cyclists and cars here, and reported my concerns to the council.They keep assuring me that they have plans to improve the situation blar blar blar... but does someone actually have to killed before we see these plans realised! over 2 years ago via web
