Chain or string hanging between is even more ridiculous. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13418#post-164619 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 09:08:23 +0000 Tulyar 164619@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A few years ago I crashed en route to Viewforth from Lochrin Place, thanks to the near invisible grey chain between 2 posts, injuring my right thumb, and witnessed by a fellow cyclist.</p> <p>Now this has highlighted the potential for liability in poor placement and hazard marking of bollards and access restrictions. Note the post crash use of traffic cones.</p> <p><a href="http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/caernarfon-cyclist-dies-after-crashing-7744828" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/caernarfon-cyclist-dies-after-crashing-7744828</a> </p>
