I once cycled from Somerset to Paarden Eiland all along Voortrekker. On a Monday morning. On my track bike DJR and ChrisF 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as i stood in the line waiting my turn to be shafted by taxis running  the dead lights and not bothering with 4 way stop etiquette, a man on a spez mtb almost got run over twice in the space of 50m…  I have a branch on voortrekker in kensington (right near Vye cycling actually!), it is mayhem. I don't think there is space for a dedicated lane with hard barriers, so it will be like the saltriver green strip disaster.  much more worthwhile to me would be adding bike infrastructure to royal(maitland) cross the railway and then 4th/Nyman (kensington). build that and they will come. here indicated in the green line   MORNE , Wannabe and DJR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I raised a defect with CoCT to fix a leaking pipe next to the cycle lane as it was starting to push the tarmac up. It only took then a week to sort it out and resurface. Minor inconvenience for some repair work. Edited September 23, 2022 by Albatross Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor inconvenience for some repair work. yeah I actually only saw it one day but I don't ride that side every day, minor inconvenience on my side in the end, compared to the poop pipe between sunday and paarden eiland that looks like a permanent temporary fix... gets me to work on my skills though !
