• Just started commuting the bike this week, my taint! my knees! Its been about 3 years...

    I live in Leeds and there's been lots of CS development, but it all seems a bit haphazard. Cycle paths cross the road randomly, some are one way others, two way. Lanes just end or take you into crowded pelican crossings or one way streets.
    Surely I'm doing this wrong, teething problems and that?

  • haphazard

    No that's entirely normal for UK cycle infrastructure sadly. Frequently a total pile of wank.

  • that sounds similar to here in leicester - new infra starts going in over the last few years, but until it's all finished it can seem a bit disjointed, and it takes a few commutes to figure out which bits are useful and which to avoid.
    plus the peril of the deliverudeboyz on dodgy e-bikes + scooterboyz that completely disregard any signage/direction markers/traffic signals etc.

  • I worked as a bike courier in Leeds for years. The cycling infrastructure is awful! There's a cycle lane on Kirkstall Road that has a bus stop right in the middle of it. No thought whatsoever.
