(Though the new surface is shocking - but it might just be temporary.)</p> <p>Headed east, the bike "lane" was a bumpy broken surface will lots of little stones. So I found myself cycling in the middle of the road - which, of course, means furious drivers behind me who think</p> <p>(A) I'm breaking the law by not being in the cycle lane.</p> <p>(B) I'm doing it in order to hold them up.</p> <p>Better off without it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18010#post-257087 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 12:38:15 +0000 jonty 257087@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looking at google street view, it's probably good that they've gone (though would be better if they were replaced by something better.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18010#post-257086 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 12:35:29 +0000 Ed1 257086@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not a complete waste It may be considered good practice (not necessarily best practice) for the artists that create and paint the cycle lines </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18010#post-257085 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 12:07:29 +0000 gibbo 257085@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Earlier this year, the council pointed some pointless cycling lanes on Corbiehill Rd. These were, in part, to the inside/right of the "parking lane." </p> <p>(The main impact of these seemed to be to increase the amount of double parking.)</p> <p>However, cycling along the street today, the whole road has been resurfaced and all the markings are gone.</p> <p>Complete waste of money. (Money, I suspect, was taken out of the active travel budget.) </p>
