When pulling out of it to turn left I noticed how dangerous the new cycle lane is. Really hard to see cyclists coming at the same time as looking at the actual road and then once I got out there was a bus stopped at the bus stop. Will definitely cause lots of conflicts with drivers not paying attention after filling up. Will stick to the A34 Kingsway/Birchfields road/Upper Brook Street methinks (hate driving in cities but needed to get somewhere and not be sweaty). Not looking forward to them ruining Oxford Road (fortunately I will only have to use a small part of it).Bryn Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17694903741582454002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5245014510735955366.post-44205343369152079412016-05-10T03:24:41.883+01:002016-05-10T03:24:41.883+01:00In the first video, at 3:52 and 4:04

Only blind people understand it. The sign is wrong - should be (ped|bike) not (bike)!EricDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627499456104670273noreply@blogger.com
