Here are some I took last year, shortly after I finally got the council to remove the RADAR gates from alongside: http://www.redpedals.co.uk/temp/z07...uthwaydrive.jpg http://www.redpedals.co.uk/temp/z07...uthwaydrive.jpg http://www.redpedals.co.uk/temp/z07...uthwaydrive.jpg (If you're trying to get some barriers removed, BTW, the Disability Discrimination Act 2005 is your friend). -- Danny Colyer <http://www.redpedals.co.uk> Reply address is valid, but that on my website is checked more often "The plural of anecdote is not data" - Frank Kotsonis |

Go there any weekend afternoon and you can see that they are no obstacle at all to motorcycle riders, who only slow down to ride through if there's pedestrians up ahead! peter |

Would this law also help me where I am trying to get removed some staggered barriers across a cycle way? (i.e. the kind of barriers normally use to prevent cycles entering a footpath). -- (\__/) M.

If you can't get a wheelchair around them then I'm sure it would work. Can a (recumbent) trike be considered equivalent to a wheelchair? I know a couple of people who ride trikes because they have trouble walking and they certainly wouldn't get through most anti-cycle devices put across cycle lanes. peter |

I was hoping to direct you to the relevant part of the Act, but I couldn't find it (ISTR it took me ages to find it last time I looked, as well). I'm pretty sure I cited it in either a letter or an e-mail to the council a couple of years ago, but I can't find that either. > Can a (recumbent) trike be considered equivalent to a wheelchair?

I don't think so, according to the letter of the law, but I'm sure the press would have fun with barriers that prevent disabled cyclists from accessing cycle facilities. -- Danny Colyer <http://www.redpedals.co.uk> Reply address is valid, but that on my website is checked more often "The plural of anecdote is not data" - Frank Kotsonis |
