The _Observer_ on "deadly" bike lanes
Helen Deborah Vecht wrote in message Quite! I usually used Dumbarton Road.
Crossing the Clyde was a problem... Yes, other than one trip with young children along the cycle track I,ve always used Dumbarton Rd. The cycle track has the usual problems of poor surfaces, neds, sharp corners, poor sightlines. I don't commute in this bit of the city so I can take the time to use the more pleasant Clyde crossings - the Renfrew Ferry or Bells Bridge. I,ve only used the fabled Clyde cycle tunnel once. The south side entrance is in a dodgy area and has the disadvantage of the approach being between through a narrow cutting all the better for bottles being dropped on you. Then there's the claustrophobic feeling that should you chance upon a group of rowdy buckfast boys theres no space to manouver round them. Should be OK most of the time but a place to avoid on Friday or Saturday nights. Iain |
