Cycle path standards
my LA have just spent a large chunk of other peoples money on cycle
routes to nowhere, and I'm in the middle of trying to persuade them that they should be providing cycle parking at key points such as the leisure centre. I can handle the leisure centre bit ( I will send them a picture every day of the single bike rack full) but I also wnat to point out that their brand spanking new path is dangerous by being narrow and by causing a bottle neck at the enterance to the centre. They have replied with "the route was designed in consultation with Sustrans and that the specifications used were based on the standards set out in their National Cycle Network guidance" anyone any idea where I can find the stnadards to check? |

that some muppet has decided should be split into lots of small ugly and inconsistently laid out PDFs so you can't find what you're looking for. In fact the layout reminds me of many cycle paths. Jon |

Point out to them that cycle routes (on roads) are pointless and do nothing but mentally segregate cyclists from other road users, not physically, and generally put them in greater danger? |
