Cross City Tunnel - Unsafe for cyclists

[scotty72]

I was sent a photo that really shows up the treatment given to cyclists
Vs Motorists by the CCT people.

Check out the photo from the tele first.

And they say we can't use the CCT because it is not safe for
cyclists...???

Good luck with the buses...

I notice there's a lovely wide footpath with nobody on it.

Tough call. The footpath looses because of illegality and I don't like
reinforcing the idea that that's where bike belong. On the other hand,
the tunnel is going to be choked with exhaust and motorists down there
are going to be looking for bikes even less than usual. Those busses
are a bit scary though. I'm thinking I'd probably occupy the main
traffic lane as I went past the stopped busses.
