Lovely case of plagiarism, there. Yes, I know these so-called bicycle lanes are pathetic and amusing, but this site is just copying these images from others, and some of these images have been around for a while...
I guess my blog is pure plagiarism too
Here's an scenario that's annoyed me. The first is the "before " , showing a good safe cycle path on the inside as well as calming the traffic.
The second after they have done some "improvements". The cycle route is now full of loose gravel and lots of big rocks to catch a cyclist. The alternative is now to ride in the middle of the road, putting your self in danger from both on coming cars and fast cars from behind.

neither of those photos seem to show a cycle route to me... are you sure it's not just a chicane?Here's an scenario that's annoyed me. The first is the "before " , showing a good safe cycle path on the inside as well as calming the traffic.

Often used to take the cycle route, when I could hear cars approaching from behind. It was narrow and became overgrown recently before they landscaped it, but definitely a pathway. Maybe they didn't class it as a cycle path and always expected cyclists to ride in the middle of the road!neither of those photos seem to show a cycle route to me... are you sure it's not just a chicane?

I'm disinterring an old thread for this. There may be a better, more recent, thread on godawful infrastructure that I could use but this was the first that I found.
