Chicanne Challenge. Cycle route N1 Forkenford 1crop Location: Duddingston, (Scotland, United Kingdom) Showing how chicanes make it difficult to use non-standard or even standard bikes, on or near cycle route N1. Picture credit: Iain Jack
This is Fishwives Causeway. It is an ‘alternative route’ for those cyclists wanting to avoid Porty High St/SHLR junction if heading to/coming from Portobello Rd. Is it now free storage for a local business at the expense of safe cycling? … [more]
Really impressed someone has managed to make this section of road more dangerous for cyclists. Didn't think that was possible #allhailthecar https://t.co/LSq0JouDEa
. @south_team why the barriers? Needed lot of heavy lifting among the rubbish, cut finger. Path behind Morrison Gilmerton Rd. https://t.co/Oa6XUJPvp7 Reply from South Team: Barriers erected at request of public to deter motor bikes etc. … [more]
A contractors' access turning circle surrounded in barriers, while passengers, including those with bikes, restricted to narrow walkways on the entrance ramps (see also #67002). The priorities sign is wrong too.
Chicanes at the bottom of the path leading into Craigmillar Castle Park. They are quite narrow and difficult to negotiate as they are at the bottom of a fairly steep section of the path.
Chicanes, another set a bit further down in background of the image. A little bit too narrow, you can wiggle through on a normal bike but tandems and trailers are blocked.
Chicanes at beginning of path between Forkenford and Kings Haugh, in good state but a bit narrow, not recommended for trailers or tandems although the path is wide enough for maneuvring.
Boillard plus chicanes (in bad state) with fairly narrow gap, overgrown and usually full of rubbish.
The cycle lane on Wester Hailes Road is partially obstructed by vegetation. The surface is also somewhat rough.
A gate with a sliding locking bar across the newly surfaced path into the Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park.
On the left an asphalt path, on the right the dirt path through the Moredun Wood from Gilmerton Road.
The sightlines under the bridges are so poor that speed humps and a chicane barrier have been provided on the already narrow Union Canal towpath.
Telecoms cabinets, one with a door hanging open, in the middle of the shared-use footway on South Gyle Broadway. It's hard to work out what the white line trapezium is for, other than to come to the conclusion that it was meant to have … [more]
Barrier across access to path to Edinburgh Park station, with dropped kerb and narrow gap at side. This will be busy with commuters at peak times, unlike this weekend view.
Barriers at Roseburn Path on-ramp at Ravelston Dykes. There are also some nasty tree-roots on the ramp. Cycling is prohibited on the path on the left which leads to a residential street.
Entrance to Traquair Alley, which leads to Balgreen cycle path, obstructed by chicane railings and car parking
Nice bridge at Newbridge Roundabout spoilt by bollards, right-angled corners and a Cyclists Dismount sign
