That is on the Menai Bridge?

My goodness that is totally bonkers. Normally you can at least work out the thought processes behind a daft decision, even when totally disagreeing with it.

But I cannot see any kind of logic behind such a dangerous initiative such as that.

And of course, back in Portmadoc, since there is apparently a sensible cycle path avoiding the problem, we are all way off topic (but what fun).

I'm off to bed. Night.

umm well its very simple really.
A car is pretty wide and 2 cars will not fit side by side through the narrow bits bridge.
Bikes are a lot narrower hence riding 2 abreast will fit easily on the bridge.

Of course but:

1. Like as not cars will always see it to always overtake cyclists. In fact I personally find problems with oncoming cars wandering into my lane when they are overtaking cyclists a hazard that happens more often than I encounter problems with cyclists directly.

A question - would it be safe to overtake a cyclist on the Menai Bridge?

Even if it were not, I can guarantee that there are plenty of muppets who will try to do so. So in reality, making an exception for cyclists on this bridge can make a near miss into an accident. So I simply think it not a good idea.

2. And why cannot motorcyclists overtake cyclists? (Not that they would take any notice on any restriction anyway). 😉

Anyway, I am currently sober but about to have a few. So I wonder how cider will affect my brain as the evening progresses.

Yes it does and it's coming on nicely.
