Twitter can be a harsh proving ground for any company - not least for all things cycling - the Niceway Code being a recent example.
So when AG Wilson Engineering posted a picture of what it called another “successful” greenway in Northern Ireland, with a barrier entirely blocking it, the results were, perhaps, predictable.
Perplexed cyclists jumped in to ask how to use the path, which is blocked by a long metal gate, with a chicane barrier to one side.
Chicanes on bike lanes - why are we still building this rubbish? ask frustrated campaigners
The company tweeted: “AG Wilson successfully delivered another greenway project in Railway park Dungannon”.
Many questioned how the greenway constituted a success given the apparent access issues, and say the large barrier and chicane combination make the route inaccessible for those on non-standard bikes including disability bikes, cargo bikes, tandems and tagalongs.
Some wondered who the scheme was actually designed for, and whether there had been a mistake. It is unclear if AG Wilson is responsible for the gate itself.
There was sarcasm aplenty.

Something some brave souls suggested they’d try it out, with different approaches.

AG Wilson did not immediately respond to request for comment.

It's not called the RideLondon-Essex sportive anymore. It's called the Ford RideLondon-Essex sportive. We should all remember that.
Yes but we all know that the cycle lane will be forgotten once the pedestrian path is done
I think traffic and congestion will be worse in ten years time.
I wasn't aware that there's such a thing as an English Highway Code.
