Reasons to stay out of cycle lanes, no. 347
Walking my bike through Newcastle last night I went along a road which has
a nice wide cycle lane on good quality tarmac. Unfortunately there is a leaking water pipe up the hill and so the lane is often a very shallow stream. After the freeze on Sunday night it was an evil looking 50 yards of ice down the hill with a slight curve and a set of lights at the end. Take care out there. Colin -- |

I was walking along the road at the time and there were no Northumbrian Water people around at that time of night. I have, however, reported it to the water company (they are no longer water authorities) this morning as soon as I was able to. Colin -- |

Similar thing at the junction of Blackhorse Lane and Forest Road (E17)
yesterday. An unfortunate motorcyclist got caught by it while taking off from the lights, went down and slid gracelessly into the side of WVM.
