Another problem here is that it pushes you out of the flow of traffic, and then once you're past the traffic narrowing, with potential dropped kerb, you could be frozen out due to being stuck behind a parked car.
That's insane when you can see how wide the street is and then also see how wide the pavement (sidewalk) is too - ideal for a segregated cycle lane. All that 'road tax' we (cyclists) pay and not a bit of it put to good use!
That is so funny. I am glad that the condition of the road surface in Glasgow is so bad that all the stupid cycle strips and useless death-trap Advance Cycle coffin boxes are practically invisible to the naked eye. One fine day our superiors on the council will realise that bikes are not just for kids, their are not actually slow don’t hold up traffic and lots of operators are mostly quite competent enough to use the big boys roads.
I wont say Croydon council at it's finest...more interested in fiddling expenses than actually building something that does the job it's intended for,they may take out a lawsuit against me if i do :(
Oh to heck with it,i have no money so they can do their worst :)
The high kerbed one is a sure wheel buckler if not a neck breaker when you get thrown :0
If you cycle in the gutter all the time then I guess those little cycle lanes mean you don't have to change your direction of travel when you come to the chicane...
You can just picture the council workers after finishing the job, standing back with a cup of tea, saying, "yeah, that will aid the cyclists of London in their journeys. Job well done lads"
Okay, lets just say, 'this is just brilliant' these things take a cyclist out of harms way ; > ? , by shifting the cyclist out traffic, but then the cyclist is, forced to try to manoeuver their way back into traffic. I just can't get it?! ; > ]
The facility with the high curb and the parking spot in front of it remind me of those hard to get at and hard to find spots off to the sides in Mario Kart you have to try to go to to collect extra gold coins.
@bike42363 Youtube have half implemented a new feature. It appears on new uploads and if you edit the details of a video you have uploaded you can see a drop down box you can change options in. At present you can't change any options but i suspect in the future it will have to do with rights about copyright and fair use etc..

Pedestrian's point of view - Look at that cyclist riding round in circles, talking to himself... lol

Rediculous for the cyclist, agree totally there. Insane, needs to be re-thought by someone in the know.

I would not use them on principle.
I'd follow the Cyclecraft recommendation for road narrowings, and take the lane.
I doubt if they are even legal to use - has the footway been dedicated as shared use?

What's the point in having that there if it's impossible to use? I might be a motorist but I like cyclists like you.

@sbrideau2000 That's my point. It's useless really and puts people in danger.
