honesty wrote:They don't cut the tree properly there so it always is too low to cycle on the pavement, and there's no drop kerb to get from the road onto the facility by the ASL. So you have to make a choice further back, gamble with the lights and maybe get stuck in an bike box, or ride in the farcility and get hit in the face by tree branches.
Or how about a third choice: you could report the dangerously low tree ( http://www.fixmystreet.com if nowhere else will allow you to attach cycling-head-height photos, which I've had to do to get councils to cut the trees back before - example https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/924394 ) and separately report the missing drop kerb (which I've had fixed in North Somerset - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.35947 ... 56!6m1!1e1 directing you into a high kerb became https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.35952 ... 56!6m1!1e1 - the cycle lane still isn't worth a damn but being able to bypass the junctions and reach the shops more easily is useful)
