Hi all,
Just been riding out from Nottingham towards Hucknall, past Bulwell ? golf course. Nice wide road,
single lane each way, nice three (two sometimes) foot wide cycle lane picked out in red, hi-grip
surface, both cycle lane and roadway clearly marked. This is NOT a shared path or anything like,
it's a separate cycle lane ..
So why is it that the two cyclists I passed were in the middle of the road way, meaning I
effectively undertook them, and the one who passed me was also in the roadway, ie not using the
cycle lane, and didn't use the cycle lane after passing me. None of them were turning right, they
all carried on regardless. This really does cause car drivers confusion. It's bad enough the
friggin' buses get their own lanes, but when cycles are also given lanes and don't use them can you
wonder why drivers don't understand cyclists and/or cycling ..
