I take my youngest to nursery every morning by bike. It has a lovely cycle path and footpath right outside and a small bit of road where residents always use up the available parking spaces. That doesn't stop a few parents/carers parking on or just off the cycle path blocking the way and doing dangerous u-turns in front of walkers (mainly kids on their way to school) and cyclists.
Recently, cars parked illegally there are being given parking tickets. This morning I saw 2 cars get tickets. I told the deputy at the nursery who told me it was all the fault of cyclists because some had complained to the council and had even taken photographs.
Had to bite my tongue.
I pointed out that plenty of parents - not just me - don't feel the need to drive our kids to nursery.
But anyway it's all the fault of evil cyclists.
