'All it takes is paint on the ground to make us feel safer': Cyclists call for action after bikejackings warning painted on popular cycle path Also on the live blog: Cavendish talks down all-time stage record Impossible to use cycle lane cycling
Mariam Sayed of JoyRiders, a charity which helps women take up or get back into cycling, who posted this image on Twitter said that this area was a "well known problem spot amongst local cyclists but why isn’t anything being done about this to make us feel safer?".
It feels a little depressing to see instances like this . As Twitter user Alex said:"What a perfectly normal thing to see in a normal country with a normally working police and justice system".are scary, and have worryingly been on the rise. Earlier this month, Richmond Park MP Sarah Olney accused the Conservative Government of “effectively decriminalising bike theft”.
Another Twitter user wrote:"That bridge has been a muggers paradise for years", while another London cyclist wrote:"Stick to the road. All round safer". So basically it's either stay on the cycle path and ride in fear of getting robbed, or stick to the roads and get told off for not being on the cycle path. Got it.
Councillor Greg Collins of the Green Party, from Wealden District Council seemed to nail it on the head :"Surely you know that all it takes is paint on the ground to make us feel safer? At least that's what half the Highways teams in England seem to think."At least that's what half the Highways teams in England seem to think.If that's too much of a downer, take a brief minute out to chuckle at the way the message is written bottom-to-up, instead of top-to-down.
