Promoting peace, harmony and shared use

Barrier update: Bath Chronicle picked up the story, read it at http://tinyurl.com/d7l57x

also, read angry malcolm's comments for a laugh. honestly, the boy's very confused. this 'narrow footbridge' is the width of a road. and we shouldn't be bleating about this because he's encountered conflict with cyclists in the past so we can't ask for anything. The barrier makes the conflict more likely, dumbass. think it through.

incidentally, on the topic of motorbikes i'm a little bit on the fence. it's a pretty obvious cut through on a motorbike, motorbikes are better for cities than cars, and there is (there was) loads of room provided everyone was sensible about it which it seemed they were – although like t1mmyb, i wouldn't want to encourage lots of motor traffic. maybe the most practical thing would be a similar thing to the severn bridge path over the old bridge: mopeds are allowed but not motorbikes (basically bikes that aren't allowed on the motorway), and there's a speed limit of (i think) 10mph

brill. i'll bring my nice wide trailer down then

update: i've asked the councillor responsible for his comments and they've promised to get back to me some time in the next fifteen days. oh, the well oiled gears of local government. anyway, when they do i'll let you know what they were thinking.

panniers: just about. trailer? not without a real fight, and possibly not at all, depending on the trailer.
