Perhaps just stick them on your site and let me know via email (mike NOSPAM tually AT gmail DOT com - adjust as is obvious)that you've added one and I'll link to it from here?Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308666493490068369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928835.post-1165364074843532242006-12-06T00:14:00.000+00:002006-12-06T00:14:00.000+00:00Well, I guess thats something to discuss with our ...Well, I guess thats something to discuss with our cycling councillor: http://darlingtoncouncillor.blogspot.com/ although York seems to get away with them.<BR/><BR/>On a totally different subject, would you be interested in ride reports & routes?

The cycle path along West Auckland Road is another obvious example. <BR/><BR/>Does this mean that it's illegal in the UK for local councils to build cycle paths that have priority at road junctions?

When you're doing a 12 mile round-trip shopping run a little bit of cycle lane isn't really worth it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928835.post-1164286503394749672006-11-23T12:55:00.000+00:002006-11-23T12:55:00.000+00:00Thanks Steve.The bike Lane's been there for a whil...Thanks Steve.<BR/><BR/>The bike Lane's been there for a while. It runs from just before Coombe Drive (Red Hall entrance) to the retail park. It's on the same side as the retail park.<BR/><BR/>It's not on the road, it's on the grass to the side and/or shared with pedestrians.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308666493490068369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928835.post-1164286291340423842006-11-23T12:51:00.000+00:002006-11-23T12:51:00.000+00:00I'll be signing it.
