The red cycle path is not much wider than the trees, so it is interrupted every 20 yards, and you have to swerve onto the foot path to avoid crashing into the tree  What nutter has thought that up??? |
Agreed that's terrible.
However I'm talking about some brand new purpose built, less than a year old cycle tracks that are off road.Gosport has a whole lot of them,most of which are placed along the old railway trackways.They are more than wide enough for pedestrians and cyclists and most are very pleasant to ride along.I used to use them myself with a child strapped in the child seat on the back.It was a good way to get around.I just don't understand why the macho types won't use 'em.
Incog.
