my LA have just spent a large chunk of other peoples money on cycle
routes to nowhere, and I'm in the middle of trying to persuade them that
they should be providing cycle parking at key points such as the leisure
centre. I can handle the leisure centre bit ( I will send them a picture
every day of the single bike rack full) but I also wnat to point out
that their brand spanking new path is dangerous by being narrow and by
causing a bottle neck at the enterance to the centre. They have replied
with "the route was designed in consultation with Sustrans and that the
specifications used were based on the standards set out in their
National Cycle Network guidance" anyone any idea where I can find the
stnadards to check?

that some muppet has decided should be split into lots of small ugly
and inconsistently laid out PDFs so you can't find what you're looking
for. In fact the layout reminds me of many cycle paths.Jon

These aren't really in the same league of stupidity as most of yours,
although there is one part of NCN 04 that deserves "recognition" ,the
path i'm querying is politically important becuase it runs past the
Council HQ, so if I can get it recognised as needing alteration after
they have installed it it will be in the officers and coucillors faces. -

nothing but mentally segregate cyclists from other road users, not
physically, and generally put them in greater danger?
