'Still seems like a bad solution that creates conflict with other users,' says ultra-cycling legend Steve Abraham. The controversial Milton Keynes bollards are back in news after the council decided to move the 'too-narrow' barriers on cycle path cycling
After defending its decision to install bollards and barriers on the city's cycleways and shared-use routes by citing “safety”, the council has rearranged the controversial bollards but the delivery cyclist who brought the issue to attention is still unconvinced if the solution is good enough.
Speaking to road.cc, Abraham said that, at the same time active travel charity Sustrans has begun to remove barriers along the National Cycle Network, “bollards and barriers are cropping up” throughout Milton Keynes in recent months, hindering the bikes he uses to deliver food as an independent contractor, an experience he spoke in detail about on a recent edition of this site’s podcast.
“A more typical cargo bike without the trailer would get through those bollards, but it's tight and especially tricky if there's a gusty side wind." Steve wrote on Twitter: “Not tried but I think we can get through. Still seems like a bad solution that creates conflict with other users but still a solution.”
