  • Not sure what you mean by this? I'd argue traditional lanes are flawed by design...

    I should have probably expend that, I don't mean the the current standard in London. I also read the comments below the article and some mentioned EU countries and the better cycle lanes or whatnot. I meant those, not the sodding half a meter wide cycle lane in London.

    We should do what Japan do, last I went, parchment = cycle lane! And Japanese actually make way for you if you ring your bell. My very limited experience reflects this. Welcome to tell me I am wrong. :-D

  • Parchment must wear out quickly, but I guess if they make paper walls, why not cycle lanes?

  • Parchment cycle lanes are very thin on the ground, even in Japan

  • They tried that shit once before, here's 37 minutes of why it didn't work (or something about it, I can't bring myself to watch it)...

  • Did the daily mail not go mad at the pedway thing?

  • I've not got that far through my "The Complete Daily Mail" back issues compendium yet.

  • Don't want to get to the Diana sections?

  • Should reach them in my retirement years.

  • Almost makes 75 years of work worthwhile.

  • I can't* wait...

    *can.**

    Background:

  • The real issue is; who's going to look after it?

    It's a hugely overlooked aspect of cycle lane/path that others countries spend their resource on proper maintenance of the cycle path (Copenhagen's snow sweeper that clear the path for the commuter fir example).

    Like Milton Keynes' cycle path, they build it, and then ignored it, expecting it to be self sufficient while it's covered with broken glasses and debris.

    true. rode a few miles of it recently, its still the same surface as when built, ripped up by tree roots and worn out cracked and life expired in many places

    This is what happened when one tried to multitask and failed to spell check before posting :-( ... what I meant was pavement. PAVEMENT!!!

  • Walls made from pavement? It'll never catch on.

  • Elsewhere in the Mail, women are causing huge problems by daring to have children, and in the process are destroying the NHS. Turns out it's not the paper's favourite government who are ruining the health service, but female doctors:

    Your predictive text feature didn't, though.

  • yes, and for that, I offer my unreserved apologies to those who have been confused by my self induced slavery to modern technology.

  • You really should return to writing on parchment.

  • Just a prediction of the future that popped into my mind.

  • at least I still remember the days without the Internet and mobile phone etc Some people I have meant recently don't. They can't live even for a day without either of those.

  • crack mayor is standing again, yay

  • fiscal conservative to you

  • Can someone please send me the parchment copy of this thread? I have a really good comment to inscribe.

  •      There will be no ripples at all across global markets in the  aftermath of the US Federal Reserve "taper", as cheap cash injections  start to be trimmed back - and will eventually end, probably next year. 
         Emerging economies in particular will weather the departure  of cash with nary a flutter. This is because countries around the world  heard the warning shot from Chairman Ben Bernanke back in May and  prepared their economies accordingly for when it finally happened in  December. 
         The so-called Fragile Five of Brazil, India, Indonesia, South  Africa, and Turkey have prepared for the inevitable end of the era of  cheap money and adjusted well. Plus, they all have elections in 2014  that will probably proceed smoothly - no surprises, only seamless  successions.
    

    Obviously predictions can >>>>>> anyway, but I genuinely can't tell if this is serious, or an audition for the Now Show?
