Do many of you commute along Rye Lane? Am I the only one who thinks that the (absolutely fucking pointless) bike lane that passes the Aylesham centre should be paved in a different colour to the pavement? Currently people just walk along/across it. Saying that, I have at least 10 near misses whenever I'm going through any part of Rye Lane. I get looked at, in the eye, and walked out on. All the time. Every single day. Often by parents nonchalantly leading their children into the busy road. I'm surprised more people aren't hit by cars on that street. Truly amazing
Yeah, I ring my bell as much as possible, they probably think I'm an idiot looking for attention (look at me! I'm cycling!)
Gotta agree the pavement colour doesn't help at all - it's just some slightly fancier pavement slabs, I'd have no idea bikes are using it if I didn't cycle on it.
