The recent additions round here are great, but are possibly a little underused as the roads aren’t really that busy tbh. However, the stuff they built through a local new town in the seventies is horrifically bad, makes no sense and has very, very little signage. Often takes you past people gates etc as well, which I’m always wary of.
My commute is great, 8.5 miles and only about a mile on a quiet road, all of the rest on dedicated cycle path, and it’s far more direct than taking the road.
And none of that green painted lane pish either.
The ‘cycle lane’ going from here down through the south side of Glasgow is outboard of the residents car parking line, so you effectively have to ride in the door opening zone. Madness. I sit a few feet out from this, much to the chagrin of many a motorist.
