Height Limit....
The idea of a height limit sign on a cycle path amuses me for some reason,
perhaps it's the thought that the cycling officer who designed it owned a tall bike?

November Critical Mass
Bright lights critical mass
"Come twinkling along on some blinging bright lit up bicycling beauties. There will be a workshop in lantern making in the week up to critical mass so keep your eyes peeled for more info on that."

Another Bad Sign - Princess Street Roadworks
If anything there should be a sign saying Cycle Lane suspended, but that's if someone bothered to get out the traffic order suspending the mandatory cycle lane...
Update 27/11/2010
The roadworks have cleared and this junction is back to three lanes + mandatory cycle lane.

Bollards - Sackville St
Bollards are one of the most common obstructions in cycle routes. In this case one has been added right in the middle of the cycle sign.
Clearly in this case the bollards don't obstruct a cycle route, unless you are good at bunny hops.
The cycle markings are pretty confused and confusing.
This is actually trying to tell you where to go after crossing northbound under the Mancunian Way.

Fairfield Street pavement
This one is pretty mad - it is neither a pavement or a road, but something in between.
It starts with no sign to introduce it, but segregated from the pavement and the pub with a barrier.
It then crosses several side roads...
with no protection from crossing vehicles
and a pretty poor surface
including drain gratings
eventually ending in an advanced stop lane.
Now that the road had been nicely resurfaced, the road is far safer and more pleasant.

CYCLISTS DISMOUNT - never a good sign
Labour party conference preparations began with the worst of all road signs...
This one is in St Peter's Square, where the ring of steel is being built.
I long for the day when I see a sign saying "DRIVERS GET OUT AND WALK"
...............
Update - one day later...
The dismount sign has been replaced with something more appropriate :)
