Evidence driven claims. We aren't saying anything bad about the BCC engineers as they don't do this. Go look at the bridge they are doing on Dovercourt Road, or the Muller Road to St Werbugh's route: lovely and gently lit at night. Look at the railway path: street lights, police cycling on it, direction signs painted on the ground, people walking and cycling happily along it. It's lovely. And then it hits the ring road and this. Unlit, pillars in the middle. And wait until we get to the Old Filton Road pavement path. This is our council tax being frittered away here. Even if you don't ride a bicycle, you should hope that the paths are at least half decent enough that people will and therefore won't be in your way on the roads. As it is they are so bad in some places (UWE to Parkway) you are better off on the road, and then the cars get upset that you aren't on the bike path, even though its dire.People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407993305053034934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194055897691199164.post-39489400637661397292011-02-25T20:58:23.123+00:002011-02-25T20:58:23.123+00:00@People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershi...@People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire.

You can't say we are full of errors when we aren't a position to know any better! If know better, tell us. But don't go on about the slandering. We've seen the two paths, they don't join up.

Therefore your going on about slander implies you are discussing the path with the 50cm dropoff. Presumably you are involved in this, which is why you take it so personally. Sorry. But why is there 50cm of height different from a lovely, perfectly levelled cycle path and the existing path, with only 1-2 metres of space to put in a slope. What went wrong? And how will it be fixed. Raise the existing path, that was only redone 12-18 months ago? Lower the new path? or add a slope that not only makes getting up hard but descending hazardous to everyone?People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407993305053034934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194055897691199164.post-29998654326046804342011-02-25T20:37:48.370+00:002011-02-25T20:37:48.370+00:00Oh, and you carry on too, you're doing an exce...Oh, and you carry on too, you're doing an excellent job of showing up just the kind of moronic attitudes we're up against.Lycra-Louthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14465634024369486876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194055897691199164.post-56642677961689889912011-02-25T20:33:29.159+00:002011-02-25T20:33:29.159+00:00Frank, do you work for South Gloucestershire Counc...Frank, do you work for South Gloucestershire Council's Highways Team by any chance?

That leaves as alternatives incompetence and/or indifference. <br /><br />On this path, there are no red lights all the way from this sign to either the centre of Bath or Bristol. So please, put down your your usual anti bicycle prejudices and consider this "if money was spent making these a viable alternative to the roads, why are they so awful". That's not slander, it's a question based on photographic evidence.People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407993305053034934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194055897691199164.post-88353492092038235232011-02-25T20:22:11.514+00:002011-02-25T20:22:11.514+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Frank Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395386679997660731noreply@blogger.com
