I was looking for that, I knew it must be there somewhere!

Having viewed the report - the lane is similar to one in Norwich, which has
been around for quite a time now. On this bit of road between two roundabouts

I've never cycled on it, but I remember the first time I saw it when I was in
the car and thinking, "What a bloody stupid place to put a narrow cycle lane,
between two relatively narrow lanes of traffic who can both undertake you and
overtake you."
If I were to cycle that stretch of tarmac I would *not* be using it, which
would no doubt be leading to the usual derisory comments from motorists :-(
I honestly believe no traffic engineer should be allowed anywhere near
designing cycle facilities until he or she has used a pedal cycle as their
*only* form of transport for a minimum of a year, in all weathers... and then
they should have to spend at least six months of the year where the bike is
their only form of transport...
