I'm in no way whatsoever justifying the car being parked in the scooter bay, but as it is a 'classic car' from 1972 it doesn't actually need an MOT. It does need to have current VED, although again due to the age, this is a cost of £0 per year, so there's no excuse for not keeping the VED records up to date.

@OnYerBike Ah, OK, it's there to mark a dropped kerb allowing cyclists to enter the no-cars bus lane from the shared space. Still seems fairly worth having.

Vayupourware?

"Semi-segregated bike lane" There is only one useful kind of separation ("segregation") for bike infra * and it isn't "bike lane", whether "semi" (?) or other. Legally even some "mandatory" cycle lanes have little/no legal effect. And of course ignoring the law is commonplace as it brings zero sanction for beaches here. * Separate protected cycle path - although pragmatically in *some* places where there are few cyclists and even fewer pedestrians expected "shared use" may be pragmatic.

Doesn't look like they're planning on going anywhere in it, so that's not likely to have much effect. Leave the bike on top of the car instead. In fact, why not a game of 'how many bikes can we stack on the car'?

Looks good, but the geo looks a bit retro - almost '90s

Rupert Lowe may like to bang on about "young foreign men" riding e-bikes. But the two blokes who tried to steal a young bloke's e-mountain bike while brandishing an angle-grinder the other day sound fairly local: "The two suspects, Mason Portlock and Luke Beale, both 18, have since been charged with robbery and possession of a bladed article. One of the men was also wanted in connection with separate offences of robbery, possession of an offensive weapon, and breaching a court order." I'm all in favour of strict regulation, and nicking anyone on an illegal machine. But, I suspect Rupert Lowe cares more about things he can pin (rightly or wrongly) on non-white folks, rather than solving the entire e-transportation problem.

They are still boring as anything though 😴

The entrance to that shared space looks fun as well - appears to direct you towards a bunch of flowerbeds, with no explanation of which way you're expected to go round them. The most direct route to the exit requires doglegging onto the diagonal, past the entrances of the Premier Inn and the steakhouse, for extra fun dodging anyone coming out.
