Anyone care to clarify?!

It's part of the cunning new Government plan to eliminate cycling deaths
and injuries. The Highway Code will soon stop cyclists using the road
when there is a shared use facility such as this available. But, to
ensure accidents aren't simply transferred to the facility, cyclists are
banned from cycling there. Added benefits are they now don't need to do
anything to the pavement and it wins the motoring and pedestrian vote.
Double gins and re-elections all round ;-)

No-one remotely sane. Clicking random links without even a hint of
where it might take you or what might happen when you arrive is
foolhardy, imo. Since tinyurl doesn't even tell you where you're
about to go, I wouldn't follow a tinyurl unless from someone I trust.

One of the limitations of tinyurl which makeashorterlink avoids. The
link by the way is safe but if you have a decent browser* and don't do
the obviously stoopid stuff you should be OK regardless

*which does not include the products of M$

Here's further proof of the plot. Cycle onward, over that wall, and out to

I got there but you have to trim the default.aspx off the end. Its
worth it though.

Sorry. Go Homepage, search for Martin (yes, I got in early) Look in
cycling2, scroll to the end.
No, I probably wouldn't bother either.
If you do, there's another one in the other cycling folder which shows a
confusing Welsh cycle route.

Actually, it's not a limitation:
