No they aren't, you bloody fool. Some of them are existing bus lanes, some (for instance along the A13 for quite a long way) are high grade segregated paths built [...] So, "No they aren't (segregated paths)", followed by "some are segregated paths". No, you're right, I don't see any contradiction there at all. LOL! Boris might as well turf them over and plant geraniums - the 'hard case' cyclists always, always, ALWAYS ignore areas dedicated for their use. Ironically, they complain about cars, but then say they only use the primary part of the road because cars have swept them clear of debris! Whoever 'for_chappers' is hasn't been reading the posts carefully for the past few weeks/ months. There is no "always, ALWAYS". And 'irony' doesn't come in to it either as there has been a lot of info about how much crap there is in segregated and even just separately marked cycle lanes. I wouldn't drive in that stuff - why should anyone have to cycle in it? Please keep up, thanks. And separated by a white line is not 'segregated', it's only got a white line, not a kerb or pavement or patch of grass that physically separates cycists from drivers. Well okay lets not get into a discourse on the definition of a word - whatever you call it, a part of the road that is only to be used by cyclists to the exclusion of other traffic ALWAYS falls into disuse quickly because the riders prefer the part of the road that is 'swept' by car tyres. So the point remains true - to REMOVE bikes from a road, make provisions FOR bikes on that road! |
