   Cycle Facility of the Month   
April 2002

>>

The Croydon Metric Martyrs

Whitehorse Road - LCN route 23 - These, gutter only, cycle lanes are only 60cm wide and have been painted on both sides of the busy A212 Whitehorse Road. The lanes are dangerous in themselves, being less than half the minimum width for a cycle lane, but they also include 50cm wide, storm drains with highly dangerous 45 degree gratings just to add insult to injury.

This month we salute the engineers from Croydon for their resistance to creeping metrication. Rather than the standard of 2 nasty continental metres, this cycle lane on Whitehorse Road (London Cycle Network route 23) is 2 honest British feet wide.

This site is dedicated to highlighting examples of how innovative design and outstanding engineering offer safety, utility, and comfort to cyclists. If you know of a cycle facility worthy of inclusion on this site, either within Warrington or beyond, then send a photo (jpg) and short description to Pete Owens.
