Superb Cyclist v Land Rover road rage

NSFW……beacoup swearing C word heavy

Abuse aside……Is there any reason why we should build more cycle paths when given the option cycle path or road some cyclists are happy to use the road as the preferred option

brightn'ove · Nov 3, 2015

Yawn. This is at least 6 months old and I can't see the debate being any different.

I'll summarise

Why don't cyclists use the cycle lanes?
Why aren't motorists more patient?
Why are cyclists such Lycra clad Eco warrior wankers?
Why are motorists such hot headed psycho death machine driving twats?
Why don't cyclists pay road tax
There is no such thing as road tax

Repeat ad infinium

The government have missed a trick there as £10 a bike would probably clear the defecit!

Cyclists can get up to a good speed on the roads, but not so on cycle paths

The real problem with cycle paths is that they are often an afterthought. They are usually too narrow and nearly always are not properly integrated with the rest of the highway.

And usually shared with pedestrians and (and dogs, and prams) and therefore unusable.

Is the right answer.
2 examples:-

1 - There's a designated cycle path from Havant to Gun Wharf Quay. That's maybe 10 miles.
On the front at Southsea you have the beach, the promenade, then a low wall, a 2 lane cycle road, intermittent concrete bollards, then the road.

2 - Between Clymping and Littlehampton there's a designated wide cycle and pedestrian path, for a mile.
At the river bridge BOTH paths stop, all tarmac stops, there isn't any form of pathway, pedestrian bridge or underpass.
It's the very definition of 'road to nowhere'.

Naturally drivers are frustrated at cyclists not using the path, I would be too.
But it's impossible to use as at the end you have to join fast flowing traffic, 100 yards from a major roundabout.

They are used, not by all, but why should they be?

I have a perfect example of a totally shìt and thus completely pointless cycle path just yards from my house. It is nothing more than a shared pavement and as it goes round a corner, the cycle path part of the pavement cuts right into some parking bays that are a six inch drop in the road. It is a complete joke. I might post it on here if I remember.

But it allows the council to say:-

"we've invested hundreds of thousands of pounds on designated cycle schemes, to keep us healthy, safe and environmentally friendly".

Nimrods.

The cycle path near The Telscome Tavern and The Badgers Snatch is a shared path with pedestrians (for those that can understand the sign) however, cyclist get "tutted at" for using it (by the majority that don't understand the signs) so it's easier to use the road.

Where you will get "tutted at" for using it by motorists.
