Not that cycling on the wrong side of the road is ever a good idea, here is on of the worst spots I can think of given how fast vehicle come onto the bridge.
Way out of order here, its a BUS LANE so he is in the wrong, if he as difficulty ridding southbound then I would advise him to push the bike across it. C.Mikey could have possibly collided with him..
@svengalie Yeah, that's one I'm not quite 100% sure on. On road cycle lanes I think are almost always only in the direction of the normal traffic, unless specifically signed as contra-flow/both ways. Shared use/pavement cycle lanes might be both ways?
@svengalie I live in California, USA...bike lanes are one-way [with the flow of traffic] unless they are marked & striped for 2 way traffic. Bike lanes that allow 2-way traffic are usually "multi-use paths" and can ALSO be used by pedestrians/skaters, etc. Bicycles go with the flow of traffic, otherwise, left & right turns would be confusing & hazardous.
@svengalie Shared used and off-road routes can be (an mostly are) bi-directional. Anything on-road has to follow the flow of traffic unless a counter-flow traffic regulation order is put in place. The latter will *always* be signposted.
Silly Cyclist LOL That's the politest insult that 'silly cyclist' will ever get.

Wrong way cyclists make life on the road more dangerous.They are another hazard in front of you that really should not be there.This is selfishness.

people like you make me ashamed to ride a bike, they are bikes not cars so more flexible in approach.

@jaymodunn Well, if that's how you ride, then shame on you. That sort of behaviour 'ks it up for the rest of us.

@jaymodunn they aren't so flexible that they can approach a road going the wrong way you fool.

Careful labeling him a silly cyclist, he hasn't been judged by a jury of his peers on youtube and appeared on sillycyclists.

You had the opportunity to say ANYTHING... and you chose "silly cyclist"? I bet he felt really bad after hearing that! :-D

@VespaUK LOL, fair enough. It makes more sense if you've seen the Silly Cyclist series on YouTube. See my comments to no.1 on episode 32.

Do cycle lanes actually have directions? I'm not much of a cyclist but i always see folks going both ways....I thought that was the point?
