Selfish cyclists block disabled access.
"No way could you get a wheelchair up there and people with bags had to walk

Perhaps they just don't see themselves as being part of society. |

I don't think it's fair to tar all cyclists with the same brush. Most of us are ok. It's only the militant ones out on a mission who are complete ****s. |

Obviously the cyclists used what was available at the time because of a lack of adequate provision for cycle parking at that railway station. They probably didn't realise it was a special ramp for the disabled. The simple solution would have been to build adequate cycle parking before putting the ramp in. Satisfied? Doug. |

Doug. if you can't recognise that it is a special ramp then you should not be riding a bicycle or using the roads, even a pedestrian would have difficulty approaching the station on the ramp as it is now pictured (the original picture showed a cleared ramp, the present one shows it blocked by bikes) |
