However, I fear they prefer vehicular cycling so wouldn't be interested.charleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5245014510735955366.post-67723132456349734482010-12-09T23:47:54.679+00:002010-12-09T23:47:54.679+00:00Does Stephen Mack ride a bike?

Perhaps we should challenge him to ride this route with high volumes of traffic going past and make a video of his progress...Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675611922168618055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5245014510735955366.post-33779716446229680052010-12-09T23:39:48.594+00:002010-12-09T23:39:48.594+00:00FYI, it was designed by Stephen Mack, MCC Highways...FYI, it was designed by Stephen Mack, MCC Highways Dept. Even worse at night, the takeaway workers park on the footway/off-road section. Remarking this section of Great Ancoats Street means there are now three general traffic lanes, as opposed to the previous two, which means the capacity of the junction for general traffic (cars) is increased, reducing journey times. <br /><br />IMO the inside lane should have been marked as cycle only with a buffer zone/hatching for the two (middle/outside) general traffic lanes remaining, which would have kept the same general traffic capacity whilst improving safety and conditions for cyclists and pedestrians.charleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5245014510735955366.post-27578676967545952512010-12-08T19:29:49.216+00:002010-12-08T19:29:49.216+00:00Who ever designed that pile of crap should be made...Who ever designed that pile of crap should be made to cycle it, daily.Calvershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13516511669260420356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5245014510735955366.post-92157423087922680402010-12-06T21:32:23.656+00:002010-12-06T21:32:23.656+00:00I agree it is crap - leading cyclists on and off t...I agree it is crap - leading cyclists on and off the road, through street furniture obstacle courses, oblivious pedestrians and having to give way (or not?) at side streets. I'll always keep to the road where a lane joins a pavement. Trouble is some motorists feel we have to use the lane and act accordingly!MiddleAgeCyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873996681529127207noreply@blogger.com
