I notice she is a bit of a porker. I do wonder if some fat people resent
bikes because they hate being reminded how unfit they are themselves.

Anyway after four years it sounds as if the bike in question is still
doing its job. Reminding people that there is a problem.

Its obstructing the pavement. The local council should remove it, trace
whoever left it there & prosecute them for fly tipping.

As I reported last week a whole raft of junctions are being redesigned
to make them safer for cyclists.

Politicians claim all sorts of things, especially just before elections.
It would be more useful if you could report back when the junctions have
actually been made safer for cyclists, or not, as the case may be.

The ones which are re-designed to be no more safe for cyclists get their
ghost bikes back, of course:
