I've not cycled since my bike was stolen almost two years ago. I really must buy another and get back to it. I'd like to cycle to work, but there's nowhere here to safely leave a bike, so I walk instead.
I remember visiting a friend's house in the suburbs of Dublin. On the nearby main road, there was a cycle lane. Actually, the lane wasn't on the road: it was on the footpath. And every time a minor road joined the main road, the cycle lane stopped. So you had to give way to traffic joining the main road. Ridiculous.
Why isn't there a cyclist smiley? We have one for bikers.

my local council put them in the stangest of places, and as you say they start and end with no real sense. i would love to know the rational reason for this kind of activity. i am tiold they get european money to creat cycle lanes so just get it and spend it. i suppose it creats work for people but its a shame they are not planned better. the european money thing is just something i have heard, it would be good to get the facts.
