And yet, faced with the possibility of maybe driving a slightly longer route, they mistakenly decide to 'go for it' anyway.</p> <p><em>* Except, of course, when that 'obstacle' is another human being on a bike, when such caution is cast to the winds.</em> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12796&page=9#post-367392 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 09:48:56 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 367392@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I see the Greater Edinburgh equivalent, the width restrictors at Newbridge village, have been rebuilt with Armco barriers after the previous masonry planters were progressively demolished by halfwit drivers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12796&page=9#post-367391 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 09:16:01 +0000 Arellcat 367391@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>To be fair, it looked pretty tight even before the new bollards!</p> <p><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/CQZ9gsS8n6U63Sww6" rel="nofollow">https://goo.gl/maps/CQZ9gsS8n6U63Sww6</a></p> <p>Maybe people should buy narrower cars.
