Gerraway!

It must be the only pedestrian footway in the country used by cyclists.

What are the chances, eh?

Is there a street view image of the entrance to this 'byway for pedestrians'?
Since it is not beside a carriageway then, absent a TRO prohibiting cycling, it is fair game.

You can easily find it on Google Streetview.

Good luck trying to find a sign encouraging cyclists to negotiate a
flight of concrete stairs, up or down.


I don't need to find a sign encouraging cyclists to use it, the fact there is no sign prohibiting cyclists from using it is enough.


"There's no sign prohibiting me from cycling down this concrete
staircase so I'm going to do it and it's the council's fault ifI am
fatally injured".

OK. But don't take anyone innocent with you while you're doing it.


He was 32, he has been indoctrinated from birth to expect a law or a rule or an authority figure to tell him what to do at all times.
