Slippin cider Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 8 hours ago, Harry said: What’s most annoying is when cyclists don’t actually use the cycle lane. There is a cycle lane on the pavement pretty much all the way along Coronation Road. The road itself is narrow, and only just fits 2 cars width, so if a cyclist is on the road rather than the path, they hold up the traffic. Last home game this is exactly what happened after the game. I couldn’t get past a cyclist as he was on the road and there was constant oncoming traffic. I beeped at him, and wound my window down to inform him that there was a cycle path he should be using, and of course all I got back was angry waving and disagreement. And it was a city fan too, on his way back from the game. If you’re on here, own up. And next time, use the ******* cycle path!! Whilst I agree with you Harry , I think the ‘cycle lane’ which is painted on the pavement goes through trees! .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I understand why Wael of Fortune thought the council would back his fruit market plans, they think alike. 9 minutes ago, Fodbarmyarmy said: Same on the portway.....inbound at the bottom of Bridge valley the cyclists are supposed to cross to the cycleway on the riverside but dont bother.....and outbound there is a path all the way to seamills but a lot dont bother to use it .... Even more so on the A369 where you are still confronted by cyclists struggling up hills despite the cycle lane added on the verges. If the situation was reversed, there would be uproar from cyclists.

A Horse With No Name Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Who remembers the massive election we had for the Metro Mayor, who would deal entirely with transport. Some guy won, and haven't seen or heard of him since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in Bristol does one main road close and another dug up with single file traffic! .....idiots!!!! They were working there last night with road saws and kango hammers, flipping woke I up they did.
