Happier diner Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 1 hour ago, HiVibes said: Pulrose bridge works related more to increasing bridge height, and related power station cabling but carry on talking utter shite. You are nearly right It was rebuilt as it had been identified that it contributed to the NSC/Power station flooding as it was acting like a Dam. It was also at risk of falling down in that scenario. The new deck is higher so that more water can pass underneath However the cables were moved because of the new bridge, not the other way around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said “unnecessary” inconvenience by the riding in packs as doc fixit alluded to rather than riding responsibly. Sometimes road users ( be they motorists, cyclists or even pedestrians) will cause inconvenience to each other. It’s unavoidable. Deliberately causing a larger obstruction than you need to is clearly irresponsible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizo Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Oh look another thread that will obviously descend into cycling hating. It’s like Godwin’s law. what doesn’t surprise me is the OP is the current roads minister who despises everything that hasn’t got an internal combustion engine. Proper dinosaur mentality. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that got to do with men, women and children nipping down to the shops on their bike, or grandparents nipping into town to pick up a few bits on their ebikes. You are confusing active travel with recreational cycling, and your personal bias against cycling is clouding your viewpoint. Less cars = better for all road users (including us drivers!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Christian Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 5 hours ago, The Voice of Reason said: I see it more as an individual making a comment on an online forum When an elected member of a department states something relating to policies of that department - it’s generally seen as that person’s policy stance. Therefore I expect to see Mr Peter’s voting against any active travel policies in DOI (which I then suspect will result in him being removed from the department). But I’m often wrong so… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
