Is the ‘why don’t cyclists use cycle paths’ now a weekly thread? This place, a cycling forum, is unbelievable at times.
I think you may have missed my point.
How often do you ride that section of cycle path?
Honestly; never. However, many others do and many, indeed most, are what we would probably describe as ‘proper’ cyclists/cycling commuters.
IHN is right though, there are no pedestrians on that section of path. Nor are there any adjoining roads to hinder progress – it’s just a wide, straight, well maintained cycle path.
Thank you.
I know he has every right to ride where he likes. I used to commute by bike and some cycle lanes I used, some I didn’t, for all the types of reasons given by folks above. In this case though it is just bonkers not to use the cycle lane.
