| Cycling in the Triangle |
The Upper Lewes Road seems to be used as a racetrack by cars, which speed along this road making it feel unsafe for cyclists. Various suggestions have been made to slow this traffic, one being to put a speed camera halfway along its length, another to build chicanes so that cars have to give way to one another. There are virtually no cycle parking facilities in the area; hence every available lamppost has bicycles attached. Some of the interconnecting roads between Lewes and Upper Lewes Road are very narrow and these bikes can block the pavements. Generally in Brighton I have noticed that not much effort is made to removecycles that appear permanently attached to whatever cycle parking facilities there are; another frustration for us cyclists. These issues have been brought up with various Council representatives in the past year or two, but so far none of them have been addressed. It is a shame, especially as Brighton has been awarded the status of a cycling demonstration town, but we will keep plugging away until we get a response and some action.
