Default Nuts!

Following my recent rants about not being able to use a motor traffic
free road in Greenwich Park to teach new cyclists essential road
skills before cycling among motor traffic, here is a picture of the
relevant road and offending signage.

As you can see, the avenue is wide and it has clearly marked pathways
either side.

The avenue connects a park road open to all traffic except commercial
vehicles and an official cycle route.

You'd never fit a bike down there .. it's just too dangerous.

And you'd need to wear a helmet to protect you from all that falling
blossom ;-)

Too many trees for pervs to hide behind, and there's a bin that could
hide a bomb.

Far too dangerous.

Why on earth aren't you allowed to cycle on that road?
