[Image taken 10.12.22] Foss Islands Path, York. [NOTE: Location on street view approximate.] I asked this cyclist if he’d mind my taking an image as he rode through the route 'closed' signs. Instead he stopped so I could get a better picture and threw up his hands in mock dramatic frustration. He explained he went to Germany to cycle the Danube for a holiday this year. He was amazed by the quality of the route and came back “radicalised”. He took a York Cycle Campaign card from me... When we were returning (17.00 on Friday) in contrast to our outward journey when we 'believed' the signs - that the route was closed, we concluded it was open, likely out of working hours, so we continued through the fencing which seemed to have been moved aside. Context and links: #188677.
