Quote:

The group are urging interested parties to tick 'strongly agree' for the whole cycle network and individual cycle route questions, which are questions seven and eight of the survey. On question nine, the group have requested for cyclists to write: “There are gaps in the network; eg Nelson and Fairfax Streets, Bond Street and Redcliff Street. It is not satisfactory for people on bikes to share busy bus lanes.

"These gaps need to be closed by two way segregated cycle routes. The proposed Lewins Mead, Haymarket cycle route needs to have easy, quick on/off access."

I often have to navigate that massive roundabout. The biggest problem I have is with drivers using a lane on the left when they want to take the third exit and meanwhile I'm using the right-most lane which means that some of them are undertaking me as I'm trying to turn left to reach my exit.

I hope they do a better job than they did with all the fragmented cycle bits around Temple Meads roundabout. However, I'm still waiting on the livable neighbourhood changes in St George to actually go ahead since they were proposed years ago.

Stay optimistic! The LTN stuff is on the way. The main problem is that no-one has had the cheek to take up the tender of £1.5million for a few planters (£39.99 from B and Q).
