A protected cycleway has been added to Fender Lane, on each side. This is excellent. The bus stop is good too, the layby has been kept but pushed outward by the new cycle lane, which cedes priority to crossing pedestrians. Wirral Counc ... [more]
New protected cycleway on New Chester Road. I prefer wands, but this is a little bit better than paint.
"Now, brother! Be quick! If we set off now we can reach the other side by Easter!" https://t.co/DxOrAkuLpe (Not sure this is the right location - but this is an area where the footway has been reduced - making the crossing much more diff ... [more]
Can't be good to feel like a mug for following official cycle route signs. This is part of the Wirral Circular trail in West Kirby. For me it's irritating, those with mobility issues or nonstandard cycles are simply excluded. We can do bett ... [more]
An old but excellent piece of cycling infrastructure, with bus bypasses. Streetview shows it there in 2009, further research shows it was built around the turn of the century.

The cycle "facility" has been recently installed. It is a cycle path which runs parallel to a straight road which has national speed limits. Cyclists travelling in a South-Westerly direction have to cross the carriageway at both ends to get ... [more]
Signage on the Wirral Circular Trail, on a shared-use footway with fairly elderly paving slabs. On the left a Mersey Tunnel entrance, where walking and cycling is not allowed.
The opposite side of the horrendous Rock Ferry Bypass crossing on the Wirral Circular Trail (see #53837). No dropped kerb, poor sightlines, no assistance in crossing the bypass itself.
A horrendous road crossing of the Rock Ferry Bypass next to a roundabout. A lorry driver stopped short in the inside lane to let me cross, but car drivers in the outside lane didn't do likewise.
Having successfully given way at the works entrance on #53818, cyclists are then told to dismount to cross the road, via a caged central island.
Signage to Eastham Country Park. The route straight on is the rougher, more steeply graded riverside path.
The barrier dividing the car park from the path in Eastham Country Park has a small gap near the end to allow people through
A barrier across the cycle path at Cubbins Green. However, a good point is the parallel segregated horse-riding path across the fence from the cycle path.
One cycle parking stand unuseable without shifting the Biffa Bin, the other fully occupied with starkly contrasting bikes!
Apart from a short section at each end where you need to cross the sandy beach, this path is rideable on most bikes
Messy, signs obscuring each other, counter will only count those that don't take shortcut, all poorly thought out
No vehicles in pedestrian precinct, including no cycling, even when goods vehicles are allowed in for loading.
"No unauthorised vehicles - Ground unsafe" "No unauthorised persons" Does the Wirral Circular Trail sign authorise cycles and people to pass these other signs?
