I obviously dismount everytime. It would be very anti social not to. I mean if you started choosing which rules you thought were ridiculous then just where would we be? Bedlam! That’s where!

see, here’s a sensible interpretation of highways layout guidelines…

LOL – FFS!

Not until they start putting signs at roundabouts saying ‘car drivers get out and push’.

When I find that place I’m going to dismount and ghost my bike!

like a number of non-criminal “rules” I treat them with the respect they deserve.

If it’s clear that by not dismounting Im going to be putting myself in conflict with peds or cars etc then yes, if it’s something cretinous like the above then, no.

Same applies to certain paths specifically marked “no cycling” under a local bylaw on my local trails – one short section effectively prevents a circumnavigation of the hills, so I ignore it. If the bvylaw recognised the how sensible allowing a circumnavigation route at that point would be then I would be less cavalier about the obeying “bylaw” all over the hills.

In london there’s a lovely church with a huge pavement-slabbed area around it in Marylebone area (Wyndam). There’s plenty of space to pass without conflict between peds and bikes etc. BUT some git has put no cycling signs on bollards at each end of the paved area which forms a perfect link between two quiet roads that form cycleroutes. I almost go out of my way to ride there because for some jobsworth to explicitly aim to prevent it makes no sense.

There’s always this for fun…

some of those new ones are just unbeleivable.
Hadnt seen this one before, but I love it:

Zokes – It looks as if the workmen when putting down that cycle path, thought, hang on, I need to leave a bit more space past this lamp post/bus shelter. Then his foreman has come along and said, what the hell are you doing! get that path back!

Trackstand territory . . . . .

trackstand territory lol

What about the peds walking in a cycling lane, tut tut

Bugger that lot. We have a right to use the road, car drivers are only licensed 🙂
