11 February - A barrier to progress
Apologies, today is one of those days when there is no spare time.
The associated photo is of a cycleway near Robin Hood Lane in
Belvedere. It is presumably designed to be a barrier to motorcycles and larger
vehicles but stops most push bikes too. Anything with a shopping basket or child
seat attached is unable to get through.
The cyclist who sent me the picture presumably thinks that Bexley Council will do something sensible if
the situation is brought to their attention but regular readers will know that that is wishful thinking.
The subject has been aired here many times since BiB was created and clearly, as
with most things, Bexley Council doesn’t care. Wheelchair users are frequently defeated too.
Finding the old complaints is too much of a needle in the haystack job on a day
with no spare time, but this is the earliest I have found so far.
