Up the hill then down through a park the LÔN ADDA route adds an extra hostile chicane here to negotiate.
Road closed with very restrictive barriers when motor traffic was diverted to a new development - pretty pointless, and I can't see anyone using it.
Tight chicane see #113028 [removed 6/2/20 www.facebook.com/CambridgeCyclingCampaign/photos/a.460407210671224/2988751731170080/?type=3&theater ]
This must be a cycle path! Access to ASDA supermarket and retail park from the shared footway at Saughs Road.
I'm hoping this gate prompts the removal of the barrier beyond, but Bolton have a love for barriers of all kinds so I wouldn't be surprised if both remained. They are both completely unnecessary and stupid. Ed: also both are likely to b ... [more]
Around the Houses. There are Barriers Galore on this Shared Use Path. A very long and slow way to go around the Houses. These Barriers hinder everyone on Foot and Bicycle. They could be removed and replaced by tactile paving.
Chicane barriers on the Transpennine trail NCN62. I suppose the idea is to slow down cyclists approaching the road, but this is entirely unnecessary as they are at the top of a steep ramp. The one positive is that they are a great improv ... [more]
A long lead up and sharp bend mean this was very hard to get a cargo bike round. It requires hefty wiggling. Ok for normal bikes but beware if you have a tandem, Tagalong or cargo.
Blockage preventing use of through route by those with protected characteristics or non-standard cycles. Distance between barriers is circa 1m.
These cycle barriers have just been installed at work. The path leads to the covered cycle parking. Is there a template letter or set of reasons why this shouldn’t be done? Can I get a @camcycle person to come talk to our facilities team ... [more]
A sign for National Cycle Network Route 2, except it's actually for East Kilbride route 2, and doesn't clearly identify whether it is for the road on the right or the path just beyond it.
Utterly disgusting, typical @CambsCC car-supremacy. Big wide road for motorists to drive at high speed, next to crumbling path with obnoxious and illegal exclusionary barriers for people walking and cycling. A1301 Hinxton. https://t.co/p7kO ... [more]
One for @cyclestreets a brand new barrier on NCN 7 in Washington. https://t.co/bYvvqNfKFD This followup tweet reports that Sustrans are aware and taking action: https://twitter.com/gazza_d/status/1113425932021374977
Shared use track to the southern portal of the A61 underpass from Foxwood Way...lots of leaf litter around making the surface a little slippery
As on the south side of the railway, barriers here encourage the growth of weeds that eventually make the path too narrow to be shared. The barriers should be removed, the overgrowth eliminated, and the path restored to the full width of t ... [more]
Utterly pointless cycle barriers. No reason for them to be here. Visibility is good, there won't be a speed issue on the bridge given the approaches, so the only reason I can think that money has been wasted here is to prevent motorcycle ... [more]
Sale Trafford Walton Park Access from Bridgewater Canal Not great and worse still they are pointed at the top corners. Compare with the St Werburgh's Tram stop rounded corners. #99646 twitter.com/Cyclinstructor/status/1006618915261337600
Manchester Chorlton St Werburgh's Tram Station. Barriers before crossing tram line. Not great and worse still they are pointed at the top corners. Compare with the other side of the crossing rounded corners. #99646 https://twitter.com/Cyc ... [more]
Extra-ordinarily over the top blockage. "This motley collection of street infrastructure has everything, with the possible exception of landmines." https://twitter.com/RobOnABike/status/981823581712678912 The photo in the tweet seems ... [more]
The chicanes here are to dissuade cyclists from the steep bank just after, and that is probably a good thing and anyway there is quite a good nearby alternative just a little further.
An utterly pointless set of cycle barriers on an entirely segregated cycle lane. Nobody would dream of putting car-sized barriers on a junction on a road, so why put these on a cycle lane? The thinking escapes me, whoever thinks these are ... [more]
Desford Lane a very quiet road with no through traffic. Brutal, inelegant lumps of concrete plonked across the road to restrict vehicles.
#GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 The chicanes on Mansewood Rd force cyclists into the road, head on against cars. Make cycle paths to each side https://t.co/04DfR4uruH
This 'No motor vehicles' is a bit of a strange sight, but suggest that this route is for cycling (despite no cycling signs nearby see #93387).
Not sure what this is, but wasn't designed with bikes in mind & cars regularly demolish it. National cycle route 7. #GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 https://t.co/fLJMPbMu79
Cat's Back Bridge has been replaced by a modern structure - it's very busy with pedestrians and cyclists, but there are still barriers in place making passage awkward for everyone.
Barriers and signs (Danger! Road crossing, cyclists dismount) where a cyclist was killed on NCN route 65.
The dangerous chicane at the corner of Adams Road, Wilberforce Road and the Coton path. It's obvious that people are colliding with the stonework here because it is always getting knocked out of place.
Awkward chicane barrier on the cycelway leading from the Runcorn Loop cycleway to Runcorn East station.
Annoying barriers added in last couple of days: Baby Elsa's 1st time out on mum's bike. I've just watched mum dismount because couldn't navigate barriers. @MetropolitanOrg pls remove asap! https://twitter.com/CllrJSimpson/status/84744 ... [more]
Sturdy chicanes and some cycle racks at Midford, ncn24. Barriers like these are necessary to block motorbikes and quadbikes. See also: https://twitter.com/walking_boston/status/1061924357742698497
Fences in addition to the bollards that should be sufficient to deter motors. The fences are too close together so cyclists tend to avoid them by riding on the grass verge to the right. This could lead to a fall just as cyclists are about t ... [more]
Pedestrian cut-through to the left, access to Priory Park to the right - this really should be improved to take cyclists off the A389
An anti-cycling barrier in alleyway from Saucel Crescent, despite the continuous railing across the entrance on the road outside.
A crescent of chicanes - which like lock gates slow down the cyclists as they descend from street to river level.
A chicane barrier each side of the gate in Queen's Park, but with the cycle route heading for the Hendham Vale path to the right, why exit the park here at all? See also #72646.
A chicane in the cycle track approaching a bus stop. The shelter for this stop is on the footway rather than the bus stop island. This intending passenger seems happy to wait leaning against a bollard.
