This fashion is more Kensington and Chelsea than all of London but I'm
all in favour of getting rid of railings. They are usually a real

motorists drive all over the pavements. We learnt that in Cambridge 20
years ago and ended up with a load of bollards.

Presumably the evil motorists now knock down the bollards. Are the
bollards any better for cyclists than railings?

In Cambridge the bollards used to sneak up (literally) on the motorists
and take them by surprise.

You're talking bollards.

Now there's an idea! Perhaps they would tell motorists they're about to hit
them?
