ASL feeder lane and..conflicting info

[Banjo]

If an offer was on the table to scrap all cycling infrastucture plans in exchange for the inside lane on all A and B roads being made 1 meter wider I would go for that with delight.

How much urban cycling do you do Linf?

Ive got to admit, I didnt even know cyclist filter lanes for ASLs even existed until I read this thread.

I live a mile from the centre of town of 120,000 people. This town is 3 miles from a city with 120,000 people. I could do a 30 mile ride on a Saturday morning and never leave this area without having to cross my own tracks. Most of that would be classed as 'urban'. Most lights here have ASL's and feeders into them.

How is that bedroom looking?

Rule 7 applies to bedrooms?

Better still, just scrap the dangerous ones like asl's cos they tick boxes but increase risk. The only ones to benefit are the council's as it increases their budgets

Do they?

I have at least four junctions on my route to work where left hooks are the standard practice. An ASL solves this problem, improving safety manifold

THere is no simple answer, but making drivers see cycle lanes as proper road lanes would be a better way forward than simply accepting bad driving

This is rule 42, under which Mr Paul gets sent to his bedroom to stop him squabbling with his idiot half brother.

You never told me you were related ?

Well I suppose you could, but it's a scary place out there

I don't want to do any 2 wheel stuff ATM if I'm totally honest either powered or cycled
Anyone who does with this weather heas either talken leave of their senses or has no other options open to them to get around

An ego bruising put down if ever I saw one.

Accept it in the spirit it was given Adrian

Gusting 30mph winds and heavy rain here right now...anyone out in that in traffic on a bicycle is just dumb

 

[Linford]

Dont make me do it again.

Some rely on dumb bravado to stumble through life (or not), and some rely on past experiences or that of others to help steer a safer path for the future...once you have done it, can you report back ?

That red windsock warning of death and destruction for this afternoon is above your house isn't it ?

Go on then, please tell me how it would be easier and/or safer for me to push my bike home.

....
Whats the threshold for cycling? Personally, I know its "uncomfortable" above about 15mph.

When you only feel safe cycling along the apex of the road...andthe oncoming vehicles have the same idea.

steady wind is annoying, gusting is downright dangerous.

I had a Honda CBX750 blown off its centre stand in 1990 when it was parked with a cover over it. This bike would have probably been about 1/4 tonne ...ish all up
