Councillor says they got "dog's abuse" for telling cyclists to use shared-use pathhow they received"dog's abuse" for telling cyclists they should use cycle lanes, namely a shared-use path that cost £700,000 to build.
"If you provide a cycle lane they go on the road. If you point it out you get dog's abuse from the cyclists as they don't want to hear it from anyone else," she said. Interestingly the article was illustrated with a picture of one new-looking shared-use path on Aberdour Road, the sort of infrastructure that could help new riders who might not have the confidence to negotiate the road and would otherwise be cycling on the pavement , but might seem unnecessary to those with more experience.
Another councillor, Lynn Ballantyne-Wardlaw, had at least spoken to those of us told to use such 'infrastructure'..."One of the reasons cyclists shared with me, as to why they still cycle on the road rather than use cycle lanes, is that the detritus and mess that ends up on cycle lanes damages their wheels and they find it safer on the road."
