Bollards


Took a trip out to Centretainment to see the new bollards that will stop fat lazy motorists (copyright Simon Geller) parking on the cycle lane and footpath. As a general principle I don't like uneccesary 'street furtniture' but signs and enforcement weren't working here so the bollards were perhaps the only solution. They don't look too bad anyway.

More subversive graffiti


Came across this somewhere on the web. Not in Sheffield.

Daft cycle lane number 84


Contractors working on the facade of SUFC football ground have put a raised build up out into the carriageway completely blocking the out of town cycle lane. There are no warning signs or bollards. It is now an incredibly dangerous pinch point that forces cyclists out into the heavy traffic flow at the very last minute. In my opinion its only a matter of time before someone gets knocked off, injured or worse here. According to the council it will be like this for 6 months! What on earth were they thinking?
