Cycle paths - red/green difference?
Apologies if this has been discussed before, but is there a difference between a greenish painted and a redish painted cycle path on the road? Many thanks in advance, Chris |

Red ones are narrow, slippery, glass & debris strewn, inconvenient and dangerous. Green ones, on the other hand, are slippery, narrow, debris & glass strewn, dangerous and inconvenient. :~) |

It's easier to see broken glass on a green one. Not if it's a Buckfast bottle. Buckfast Tonic Wine - allegedly made by monks in Devon. Comes in green glass bottles to blend in with green cycle lanes. Itis popular with local neds in the west of Scotland as a cheap way of getting drunk. Tradition (like the Russian smashing of wine glasses after a toast)demands that when finished the bottle is smashed on the nearest hard surface (unless required for use as a weapon). I can confirm however at least one incident of poetic justice when a Buckfast drinker watching a football match on TV lashed out in frustration when his team missed a penalty and struck himself on the forehead having forgotten about the Buckie bottle in his hand. Hospital treatment and stitches required. Iain |
