Hooray! A dry day last Sunday and the opportunity to get off the settee and stretch the legs.
I rode through town and out along the cycle lane down Hurst Street to the junction with Sherlock Street. The ‘cycle way’ heads diagonally across the junction via traffic light controlled crossings. One reaches the island refuge and then hs to press another button and wait for the green light on the traffic light by the Eden bar. I waited and waited. Then another cyclist arrived and commented that he’d “never seen that light turn green.” So we waited until the traffic had stopped, assumed we had right of way and cycled off. Not terribly satisfactory.
