They look like they are setts from nearer the police station. I don't think it's just to stop people going round the chicanes though as the gap between the chicanes had been filled with branches too one night </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13942#post-172418 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 22:55:03 +0000 wingpig 172418@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Bigjack Yes yes. Aware thereof. I go through them every day and popped along to measure them/buggy-test/trailer-sample them when they first appeared. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13942#post-172413 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 21:52:11 +0000 Bigjack 172413@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>But the point winpig is that the whole design is awful and quite frankly dangerous. The chicanes-bad enough but the crazy tactiles are just plain dangerous for cyclists. others have already commented on witnessing cyclists coming to grief on those wheel catchers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13942#post-172375 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 22:19:39 +0000 wingpig 172375@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I normally cycle on the path, so the chicane gate is between me and the trees/rocks. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13942#post-172369 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 20:47:40 +0000 bdellar 172369@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I normally cycle beyond the trees, so the trees are between me and the path. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13942#post-172366 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 17:20:19 +0000 Bigjack 172366@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/30569218@N05/15770923636/in/set-72157646975045933" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/30569218@N05/15770923636/in/set-72157646975045933</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13942#post-172321 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 18:26:32 +0000 Bigjack 172321@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Over the past week there seems to have been an attempt to block the chicane/dangerous tactiles avoidance route, by someone placing a couple of large stone setts between the chicane fence and a tree. I threw them to the side on Wednesday but they were carefully re-placed this morning. This morning they were back (clearly someone upset by cyclists going the grass/mud route), so I removed both the stones a safe distance.<br /> It'll be interesting to see if they're back on Monday.<br /> It must've taken quite an effort to bring the stones from wherever to the location as they're pretty heavy too! No doubt the perpetrator doesn't have a clue as to why cyclists are taking the chicane/tactile avoidance route. </p>
