[Image taken 11.12.21] Haxby Road, York. The blind summit this side of which people exit this road into Foss Islands Path and emerge out of. Does it look benign? It’s not. High speeds, all sizes of motor vehicles – it’s also a bus route, and drivers who still shout, “Get in the cycle lane!” as happened this week. The driver had wound down his window and was trying to force his way into the queue of vehicles ahead of me. Plus, the pinch points mean to be able to turn right at the roundabout behind the camera position I need to get into the lane before I reach the road narrowings or get forced into and stuck in the gutter – blocking any cyclist who is going straight on (Haxby Road continuation).
