Dangerous Pavement Cycling




I posted a comment on this subject, on a Sleaford Web Log, relating to a walk into Town down Northgate.

Dangerous Cycling

Added to that the BBC has recently published simialar articles highlighting the problem: click on image.

But it has implications also for Holdingham.

Pavement Cycling is a hazard: there are cycling lanes along the Lincoln Road from the end of York Road up to the Jolly Scotchman: after that the cyclists are supposed to use the road but has anyone ever seen this happen?

Someone will get badly hurt if something isn't done about it!

Thanks for your comments. The Connect2/NKDC Farm Bridge project will lead to enhanced cycle ways (hopefully). I have asked if the cycle paths (maps) within Sleaford (shown at the last Connect2 meeting) can be published more widely plus the laws and rules/regulation of usage made more visible and enforceable.

Where there are designated cycle lanes -fine- but a serious accident will occur unless more responsibility is shown.

Galley Hill and Norh Gate are decidedly dangerous at times.
